Senate Minority Call on Governor Hochul to Rescind Executive Order No. 47.3
March 18, 2025
The order bars 2,000 corrections officers from working for State Agencies and Local Government
Senator Rolison signed on to a letter calling to rescind Executive Order No. 47.3, barring 2,000 terminated state corrections officers from working for State or local agencies.
"(This order) is punitive and will only have a ripple effect, impacting not only the 2,000 correction officers but also the members of the National Guard that must continue to serve in our prisons," the letter reads.
"As a former mayor and local government official, barring these individuals from working for local governments is wrong and unfair. It's unfair to these officers, their families and local governments that are struggling to find interested and qualified employees - especially in the field of corrections," stated Senator Rob Rolison, Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Crime Victims, Crime and Correction.
