BILL NUMBER:S1311

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 veterans' credits for civil service appointments and promotions

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

Amend Article 5 Section 6 of the Constitution to provide that in circumstances where a person has used a veteran's credit for civil service purposes and thereafter is classified as a disabled veteran, the additional credit which would be garnered by that designation may be used for a subsequent test or appointment.

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 benefit individuals who, through no fault of their own, were not classified as a veteran with disabilities at the time of their first appointment.

Effective date

RESOLVED (if the Assembly concur), That the foregoing amendments be referred to the first regular legislative session convening after the next succeeding general election of members of the assembly, and, in conformity with section 1 of article 19 of the constitution, be published for 3 months previous to the time of such election.
