BILL NUMBER:S4315
Title of bill
An act to amend the public officers law, in relation to the residence of peace officers employed as associate urban park rangers by a city with a population over one million
Summary of specific provisions
This bill would amend the public officers Law to allow the hiring and continued employment associate urban park rangers by a city with a population over one million so long as the employee has two years of service with the city and resides in a New York county contiguous with the employing municipality.
Justification
The provisions allowing residence in a contiguous county are modeled after existing provisions of the public Officers Law allowing members of municipal sanitation, fire, and corrections departments, and departments of health in any city over one million, to reside in a contiguous county. The same standards should apply to associate urban park rangers. In 2009, the City of New York amended its residency requirement in Local Law 10 of 2009 to allow similarly relaxed residency requirements i.e., two years of service with the city of New York and residency in the counties of New York, Kings, Queens, Bronx, Richmond, Nassau, Westchester, Suffolk, Orange, Rockland or Putnam - to dozens of titles represented by the same collective bargaining agent that represents these titles. Because these titles also hold peace officer status, however, Local Law 10 did not grant them equal rights because of 3-b of the Public Officers Law, which requires peace officers to be residents of the same county as the mayor, sheriff or other appointing official. This bill would simply give these titles the same opportunities as other employees of the city of New York as well as members of municipal sanitation, fire, and corrections departments, and health departments in any city over one million.
