 AN ACT to amend the civil service law, in relation to hearing procedures
   for certain public employees
 
   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

   Section 1. Subdivision 2 of section 75 of the civil  service  law,  as
 amended  by  chapter  226  of  the  laws  of 1994, is amended to read as
 follows:
   2. Procedure. An employee who at the time of questioning appears to be
 a potential subject of disciplinary action shall have a right to  repre-
 sentation  by  his  or her certified or recognized employee organization
 under article fourteen of this chapter and shall be notified in advance,
 in writing, of such right. A state employee who is designated managerial
 or confidential under article fourteen of this chapter,  shall,  at  the
 time  of questioning, where it appears that such employee is a potential
 subject of disciplinary action, have a right to representation and shall
 be notified in advance, in writing, of such right. If representation  is
 requested  a  reasonable period of time shall be afforded to obtain such
 representation. If the employee is unable to obtain representation with-
 in a reasonable period of time the employer has the right to then  ques-
 tion  the  employee. A hearing officer under this section shall have the
 power to find that a reasonable period of time was or was not  afforded.
 In  the event the hearing officer finds that a reasonable period of time
 was not afforded then any and all statements obtained  from  said  ques-
 tioning  as  well as any evidence or information obtained as a result of
 said questioning shall be excluded, provided, however, that this  subdi-
 vision  shall  not  modify  or  replace any written collective agreement
 between a public employer and employee organization negotiated  pursuant
 to  article  fourteen  of this chapter. A person against whom removal or
 other disciplinary action is proposed shall have written notice  thereof

  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.
