BILL NUMBER:S4754
Title of bill
An act to amend the civil service law, in relation to reduction of positions based upon seniority with an employer
Purpose or general idea of bill
This legislation amends the civil service law as it relates to sworn members of the Suffolk County Police Department who, because of economic conditions, consolidation or abolition of function, or curtailment of activities, have had their positions in the competitive class abolished or reduced in rank or salary grade. Through this legislation, reduction of sworn members of the Suffolk County Police Department shall be predicated upon original appointment on a permanent basis in the grade or title in the service of the Suffolk County Police Department.
Summary of provisions
Section One amends Section 80 of the Civil Service Law by requiring that reductions in this particular workforce be handled in inverse order based upon original appointment to the particular position.
Section Two is the effective date.
Justification
With the threat of layoffs and reductions within the County of Suffolk Police Force, the organization representing the sworn members of the police force request that the reduction position be based upon time in grade or title rather than total time on the job. The legislature has previously enacted similar legislation for the City of Buffalo, the City of New York, the Monroe County Sheriff's Department, and the Nassau County Police Force.
Legislative history

Fiscal implications
