                                BILL NUMBER:S7056

TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend the civil service law, in relation to
scheduling an examination for any position or positions in the
classified services that provides child protection services

PURPOSE:

This bill would require the president of the state civil service
commission to immediately announce, schedule, score, and certify the
results of an examination for any position or positions in the
classified services that provides child protection services pursuant
to Article 6 of the social services law upon the written request of a
municipal civil service commission or personnel office.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 requires the president of the state civil service commission
to immediately announce, schedule, score, and certify the results of
an examination for any position or positions in the classified
services that provides child protection services pursuant to Title 6
of the social services law upon the written request of a municipal
civil service commission or personnel officer.

Section 2 provides that this act shall be effective immediately.

JUSTIFICATION:

Scheduling civil service examination is a lengthy process that can
often take longer than a year. There is currently no way for the state
civil service commission to prioritize exams based on critical need.
Instead, exams are held on a first come, first served basis.  Often,
critical jobs cannot be filled as a result of this queuing system
because there is not an eligible list. Positions that provide child
protection services are often one such job. This bill would require
the president of the state civil service commission to immediately
announce, schedule, score, and certify the results of an examination
for any child protection position. This would allow local districts to
quickly establish an eligible list for these critical positions.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

New Bill.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

None.

EFFECTIVE DATE:

This act shall take effect immediately.
