Title of bill
An act to repeal paragraph (e) of subdivision 4 of section 209 of the civil service law, relating to providing for limitations on binding arbitration for members of the state police
Purpose
To repeal limitations on binding arbitration on members of the state police and their employer.
Summary of provisions
§1 - repeals paragraph (e) of subdivision 4 of section 209 of the civil service law
§2 - provides for the law to take effect immediately
Existing law
Currently uniformed members of the state police have binding arbitration solely for monetary disputes. There cannot seek relief from binding arbitration for issues relating to disciplinary procedures and investigations or eligibility and assignment to details and positions
Justification
Chapter 587 of the laws of 2001, granted binding arbitration rights to members of the state police However, chapter 232 of the laws of 2002 limited this right of binding arbitration by excluding those issues relating to disciplinary procedures add investigations and assignment to details and positions. Since binding arbitration has proven successful in resolving monetary disputes, it is only logical to extend the process to other issues. In addition, police officers employed by municipalities (including NYC) have binding arbitration without the limitations presently imposed upon members of the division of state police.
