BILL NUMBER:S7056
Title of bill
An act to amend the civil service law, in relation to scheduling an examination for any position or positions in the classified services that provides child protection services
Purpose
This bill would require the president of the state civil service commission to immediately announce, schedule, score, and certify the results of an examination for any position or positions in the classified services that provides child protection services pursuant to Article 6 of the social services law upon the written request of a municipal civil service commission or personnel office.
Summary of provisions
Section 1 requires the president of the state civil service commission to immediately announce, schedule, score, and certify the results of an examination for any position or positions in the classified services that provides child protection services pursuant to Title 6 of the social services law upon the written request of a municipal civil service commission or personnel officer.
Section 2 provides that this act shall be effective immediately.
Justification
Scheduling civil service examination is a lengthy process that can often take longer than a year. There is currently no way for the state civil service commission to prioritize exams based on critical need. Instead, exams are held on a first come, first served basis. Often, critical jobs cannot be filled as a result of this queuing system because there is not an eligible list. Positions that provide child protection services are often one such job. This bill would require the president of the state civil service commission to immediately announce, schedule, score, and certify the results of an examination for any child protection position. This would allow local districts to quickly establish an eligible list for these critical positions.
