Sponsor's memo

Title of bill

An act to amend the civil service law, in relation to the use of credits for veterans and disabled veterans

Purpose

To allow the use of additional credits allowed to veterans and disabled veterans on Civil Service examinations. This legislation would allow a person who has served during more than one time of war to utilize additional credit regardless of whether the veteran or disabled veteran has previously utilized veterans' credits for original appointment or for promotion.

Summary of provisions

This bill will add a new Section 4(e) to Section 85 of the Civil Service Law which will allow for additional Civil Service credits for veterans who served in more than one time of war.

Existing law

Currently, a veteran who has served in more than one time of war is prohibited from receiving additional credits for the additional service.

Justification

This bill would allow additional credit to a veteran who has received "veterans credit" previously on a Civil Service examination and who subsequently answered the call to duty during another time of war. This bill would reward those who have served in more than one conflict and it provides an incentive for our citizens to continue participating in the reserve components of our armed forces.

Fiscal implications

None.

Effective date

Immediately.
