BILL NUMBER:A9122
Title of bill
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION OF THE SENATE AND ASSEMBLY proposing an amendment to section 6 of article 5 of the constitution, in relation to civil service appointments of veterans
Purpose
Would allow any person who has received an appointment through civil service to be entitled to additional credit if said individual was classified as a veteran with disabilities after the first appointment or promotion.
Summary of provisions
Upon concurrence of the New York State Senate and Assembly, this legislation would amend Section 6 of Article 5 of the Constitution to provide veterans who have received an appointment through civil service to be entitled to additional credit if said individual was classified as a veteran with disabilities after the first appointment or promotion.
Justification
Current law only allows veterans credit to be used once and does not allow for the veteran to apply additional credits if they are classified as disabled at a later date. This legislation would amend the New York State Constitution to benefit individuals who, through no fault of their own, were not classified as a veteran with disabilities at the time of their first appointment.
