BILL NUMBER:S5720 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the civil service law, in relation to the calculation of seniority for purposes of layoffs or demotions PURPOSE: The purpose of this proposed Bill is to amend § 80 of the New York State Civil Service Law which pertains to suspension or demotion upon the abolition or reduction of positions in the Civil Service as it applies to any members of any police agency in the State other than those police agencies already dealt with by §§ 1-a through 1-d of 80. JUSTIFICATION: Under the current law, suspensions or demotions in the Civil Service upon the abolition or reduction of positions must be made based upon seniority, with demotions or reductions in force to be made in "inverse order of original appointment on a permanent basis in the classified service" (CSL, § 80, § 1).

For example, a police officer with ten years in rank as a Sergeant would have to be demoted before a police officer with 1 year in rank as a Sergeant if the latter had more time in the classified service. As mentioned above, several uniformed services operations have recognized this inequity and obtained individual legislative amendments to § 80 of the
