2019-S7203 (ACTIVE) - Sponsor Memo

                                
 
BILL NUMBER: S7203

SPONSOR: AMEDORE
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to authorize Stephen Ferraro and Stephen Porcello to take the
competitive civil service examination and be placed on the eligible list
for appointment as full-time police officers for the village of St.
Johnsville, county of Montgomery

 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to authorize Stephen Ferraro and Stephen Porcello to take the
competitive civil service examination and be placed on the eligible list
for appointment as full-time police officers for the village of St.
Johnsville, county of Montgomery

 
PURPOSE:

To allow the Village of St. Johnsville to consider hiring three part-
time police officers as full-time even though they are over thirty-five

years of age, which is the State's maximum age limit for taking the
full-time police officer exam.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1: Stephen Ferraro and Stephen Porcello, who have been contin-
uously employed by the village of St. Johnsville as part-time police
officers, shall be eligible to take the competitive civil service exam-
ination for the position of police officer and, contingent upon each
individual's score on such examination, he shall be eligible to be
placed on the eligible list for appointment as a full-time police offi-
cer for the Village of St. Johnsville.

Section 2: Stephen Ferraro and Stephen Porcello shall be subject to the
merit and fitness provisions applicable to full time police officers

 
EXISTING LAW:

State law requires that candidates be not more than thirty-five years of
age to take the civil service exam for full-time police officer.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

The St. Johnsville Police Department is a full-time agency that relies
on 20 part time officers to cover the village 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week. It is becoming increasingly difficult for the Village to provide
continuous coverage with part-time officers.  At the request of St.
Johnsville, this bill would allow the Village the flexibility to hire
current part-time officers as full-time officers.

 
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

New bill.

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

None to State.

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
Immediately.
