BILL NUMBER:S3397
Title of bill
An act to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to establishing maximum age requirements for New York city correctional officers
Purpose
To establish maximum age requirements for New York City correctional officers
Summary of provisions
Section one of this bill amends the Administrative Code of the City of New York by adding a new section 9-177.2. Subsection (a) of this new section provides that the Commissioner of Correction shall not appoint any new a person to a position of uniformed correction officer if the person who is under twenty-one years of age or over thirty-five years of age on the date of appointment or the date that such person is eligible to compete in a promotional exam.
Subsection (b) of this new section provides that that nothing in this section shall limit or affect the existing authority of the Mayor and Commissioner to appoint non-uniformed persons whose duties include overall security of the Department to positions of authority.
Section two of this bill provides that act shall take effect on the thirtieth day after it shall have become a law and shall apply to appointments established on or after such date.
Existing law
Currently, the Administrative Code of the City of New York does not prescribe age requirements for appointment to a uniformed correction officer position.
Justification
Correction officers are part of the uniformed services of the City of New York and, thus, the age requirements for appointment and promotion should be the same as those for police officers.
