BILL NUMBER:S6178 TITLE OF BILL: An act in relation to providing additional civil service credit to children of certain firefighters and police officers killed in the line of duty PURPOSE: This bill corrects an issue that arose after the enactment of Chapter 376 of the Laws of 2013 due to activities that took place after S.5585/A.7631 passed both houses of the Legislature and before the enactment of Chapter 376 that caused the children of firefighters and police officers to be denied additional points for examinations because the eligible list for such examinations had been established and could not be changed. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1 of the bill provides that notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, any established eligible list that includes at least one candidate who meets the following criteria will be re-established. The criteria are: 1. Is the child of a police officer or firefighter that was killed in the line of duty, as such term is defined in Civil Service Law section 85-b; 2. Applied for additional credit based upon his or her parent's death
