Sponsor's memo
Title of bill
An act to amend the civil service law, in relation to prohibiting the transfer of civil service employees in certain situations
Purpose
This bill would prohibit the transfer of civil service employees as of the date of such transfer there is an existing valid eligible list or preferred list or re-employment roster for such position.
Summary of specific provisions
This bill amends section 52 of the civil service law, to provide that transfers shall be allowed between administrative positions in the same or related or collateral specialties which involve substantially equivalent tests or qualifications, subject to such conditions and limitations as the state civil service department may prescribe, provided, however, that no such transfer shall be allowed to a position in the service of the state if at the date of such transfer there is an existing, valid eligible list or preferred list or re-employment roster for such position.
This bill would also amend section 70 of the civil service law to provide in the general provisions governing transfers of employees that no employee shall be transferred to a position in the service of the state if at the date of such transfer there is an existing, valid eligible list or preferred list or re-employment roster for such position, unless the transfer is to a position with the same title.
Justification
The purpose of the civil service system is to ensure employment and promotion on the basis of merit, education and talent. This bill seeks to preserve the integrity of that system by preventing the circumvention of such system through the use of geographic transfer of state employees.
