BILL NUMBER:S6330
Title of bill
An act to amend the civil service law, in relation to the administration of certain director of facility positions
Purpose
To clarify the purview of municipal civil service commissions with regard to promotions for the school district positions of Director of Facilities I, II and III.
Summary of specific provisions
Section one of the bill amends subdivision 5 of section 17 of the Civil Service Law to clarify that the statewide examinations for the school district positions of director of facilities do not affect the ability of municipal civil service commissions to hold promotional examinations and create promotional lists from such examinations for those positions. The qualifications for promotion to those positions that are established by a municipal civil service commission must be consistent with the statewide eligibility criteria for those positions established by the Department of Civil Service.
Section two of the bill provides that this act shall take effect immediately.
Existing law
Currently, the Department of Civil Service is required to develop a statewide open competitive examination for the positions of Director of Facilities I, II and III in school districts.
Justification
Chapter 403 of the Laws of 2011 provided that the Department of Civil Service would develop and administer a statewide examination for the school district positions of Director of Facilities I, II and III so that school districts would have more candidates to consider for the available positions. Chapter 403 did not address promotions within the Director of Facilities titles. This bill clarifies the role of municipal civil service commissions in the promotion process. This clarification will pave the way for the administration of the new statewide examination and promotional examinations based upon the new statewide criteria for the Director of Facilities positions.
