An act to authorize Michael Wilson to take the competitive civil service examination and be placed on the eligible list for appointment as a full-time police officer for the village of Goshen, county of Orange
Purpose
Allows Michael Wilson to take the competitive civil service examination for full-time police officer.
Summary of provisions
Section 1 Notwithstanding the provisions of section 58 of the Civil Service law, or any other law to the contrary, Michael Wilson, who has been continuously employed by the village of Goshen as a part-time patrolman, shall be eligible to take the competitive civil service examination for the position of police officer and based on his score, placed on the eligible list for appointment as a full-time patrolman for the village of Goshen.
Section 2 Michael Wilson shall otherwise be subject to the merit and fitness provisions of the civil service law applicable to full-time police officers.
Justification
Section 58 of the New York State Civil Service Law prohibits an individual over the age of 35 from taking the competitive civil service examination for the position of police officer. Michael Wilson is currently a part-time police officer for the Village of Goshen Police Department.
