Sponsor's memo
Title of bill
An act to amend the executive law, in relation to the application of veteran's credits to civil service examinations for employees of the division of state police
Purpose
This bill would allow for individuals, if qualified, to add veteran's credits to their state police civil service examination score at any point prior to the expiration of the eligible list.
Summary of provisions
This bill would amend Section 211 of the executive law to allow belated application for additional credit to be made by an applicant who has already been placed on an eligible list but subsequent to such placement has been ordered to active military duty, other than training, to a combat theater or combat zone of operations that qualifies such applicant for the additional credit as a veteran or disabled veteran provided such list has not expired and provided further that the applicant makes such application within ninety days after receiving an honorable discharge or being released under honorable circumstances. This section is also amended to allow for the application of such credits to be made at any time prior to the expiration of the eligible list.
Justification
Under current law, an individual who is not qualified for veterans credits at the time of the application, but becomes qualified for these credits during the life of the eligible list, cannot add these credits to their examination score. This bill seeks to correct this situation so that qualified veterans receive the credits they rightly deserve.
