BILL NUMBER:S4852

Title of bill

An act to amend the military law, in relation to allowing all veterans who miss a civil service examination due to active duty military service the opportunity for a makeup examination

Purpose of the Bill:

This bill amends the Military Law by allowing a make-up examination for servicemembers who miss a Civil Service examination due to a call to active duty, including active duty for training.

Summary of Provisions:

Effective immediately, this bill extends the option of a make-up examination to all servicemembers who miss a New York State Civil Service exam due to a call to any form of active duty military service.

Existing Law:

Article 11, Section 243-b of the New York State Military Law allows servicemembers to take a make-up Civil Service exam if they miss the scheduled examination due to a call to active duty, except for active duty for training purposes.

Prior Legislative History:

This is a new bill.

Statement in Support:

Active duty for training is designed "to enhance or refresh existing skills that support military operations or future mobilizations." Servicemembers on active duty partaking in such - training to improve their ability to serve our Nation should not receive a penalty for missing a Civil Service examination. Instead, they should receive the same treatment as other servicemembers who are ordered to active duty and miss a Civil Service exam as a result. Treating all servicemembers on active duty equally regarding Civil Service make-up exams will once again re-affirm New York State's commitment to welcoming Veterans into State positions.

Budget Implications:

None

Local Impact:

None.

Effective Date:

Effective immediately.
