   THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section  1. Section 59-b of the civil service law, as added by a chap-
 ter of the laws of 2018, amending the civil service law relating to  the
 appointment  and  promotion  of  supervisors  of  the  emergency medical

 6990-A, is amended to read as follows:
   §  59-b.  Promotions of supervisory personnel of the emergency medical
 service. 1. The legislature hereby finds and declares that  the  contin-
 ued,  uninterrupted,  adequate  and  efficient  operation  of  emergency
 medical services is necessary for the general  welfare  of  the  people;
 that such adequate operation involves and requires personnel with highly
 specialized  ability,  skill,  training and knowledge, which necessitate
 that vacancies in the emergency medical services  in  the  positions  of
 Supervising  Emergency  Medical  Service Specialist Level II (Captains),
 Deputy Chief, Division Chief, and Division Commander, shall be filled as
 far as practicable by promotion from among persons  holding  competitive
 class  positions in a lower grade in the department in which the vacancy
 exists, provided that such lower grade positions are in direct  line  of
 promotion, as determined by the department or municipal commission.
   2.  Promotion  shall  be  based  on merit and fitness as determined by
 competitive examination, due weight being given to seniority. The previ-
 ous training and experience of the candidates, and  performance  ratings
 where  available,  may  be considered and given due weight as factors in
 determining the relative merit and fitness of candidates for promotion.
   3. Any PERMANENT COMPETITIVE employee holding a provisional or discre-
 tionary appointment in the affected supervisory titles of the  emergency
