S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 6109 2019-2020 Regular Sessions I N A S S E M B L Y February 28, 2019 ___________ Introduced by M. of A. ABBATE -- read once and referred to the Committee on Governmental Employees AN ACT to amend the civil service law, in relation to the negotiability of discipline affecting public employees THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Legislative findings and declarations. The legislature hereby finds, declares and reaffirms that the 1967 Public Employees' Fair Employment Act establishes that the public policy of the state, and the purpose of the act, is to promote harmonious and cooperative relationships between government and its employees and to protect the public by assuring, at all times, the orderly and uninterrupted opera- tion and functions of government. Included among the policies adopted was the requirement that the state, local governments, and other poli- tical subdivisions negotiate and enter into agreements with employee organizations about terms and conditions of employment. Over the many years subsequent to the enactment of such act, the negotiability of discipline, including disciplinary procedures, has been fully endorsed by the public employment relations board and disciplinary procedures have been incorporated into collective bargaining agreements throughout the state. The legislature now declares that this practice of negotiat- ing fair disciplinary protections and procedures for public employees must continue. A recent court of appeals' decision involving police officers in the city of Schenectady has erroneously declared that the "public policy" of the state is to prohibit absolutely the negotiation of disciplinary procedures in certain places where there exist legislative enactments on the subject of discipline. The legislature declares a necessity for the enactment of this act to ensure that discipline, including disciplinary procedures, will continue as a mandatory subject of collective negoti- ation, and that collective bargaining agreements addressing that subject EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
