BILL NUMBER:A10067 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the civil service law, in relation to positions in the competitive class of the state Purpose or general idea of bill: To amend the Civil Service Law to prohibit existing positions in the State civil service competitive class from being reclassified into the noncompetitive or exempt class. Summary of specific provisions: This bill creates a new section 44-a of the Civil service Law to prohibit any existing position in the compet- itive class from being reclassified into the noncompetitive or exempt class. Justification: The civil service system was created to protect the public by insuring that public sector jobs are filled by qualified work- ers. It also was intended to prevent cronyism and corruption by creating a fair process for filling positions. The bedrock of the civil service system is the competitive class. The key elements of the competitive class are that the applicant must meet minimum qualifications, that the applicant must take an examination and get a passing score, and that the job must be filled by one of the three highest scoring applicants. Most State positions are in the competitive class. The courts have found that "there is a significant constitutional pref- erence for competitive classification". Brynien v New York State Depart-
