BILL NUMBER: S2398 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the correction law, in relation to permitting correction officers to be color blind PURPOSE : Permits correction officers to be color blind. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS : Section 1 amends the correction law by adding a new section 22-b to qualify applicants who would so otherwise be disqualified because of their color blindness. EXISTING LAW : None. JUSTIFICATION : Individuals who would otherwise be qualified to be a correctional officer are denied this opportunity due to being color blind. Operations within correctional facilities are managed through careful procedures and do not require the correctional officer to distinguish color significance as police often utilize in their duties. Removing this requirement will grant correctional facilities the ability to select higher qualified individuals who would have normally been disqualified by this requirement. LEGISLATIVE HISTORY : S.5450 of 2007/2008 FISCAL IMPLICATIONS : None.
