Title of bill
An act to amend the civil service law, in relation to excused leave to undertake a screening for prostate cancer
Purpose
Provide civil service employees in NYC the same right to leave for prostate cancer screenings that men in the rest of the state have.
Summary of provisions
Section one amends Civil Service Law § 159-c to repeal subsection three which provides that the provisions of this section shall not apply to any employee of a city with a population of one million or more.
Justification
Currently, civil service employees outside of the city of New York are entitled to 4 hours excused leave for prostate cancer screening and 4 hours excused leave for breast cancer screening. This protection should apply to New Yorker's all across the state, including New York City. The Governor's program bill dealing with breast cancer screening repeals the New York City exemption from the excused leave for breast cancer screening. This bill ensures the provisions remain consistent and removes the New York City exemption for prostate screening.
