AN ACT to amend the civil service law, in relation to the application of
  veteran's credits to civil service examinations

  THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section  1.   Subdivision 3 of section 85 of the civil service law, as
added by chapter 790 of the laws of 1958, is amended to read as follows:
  3. Application for additional credit; proof of eligibility; establish-
ment of eligible list. Any candidate, believing himself OR HERSELF enti-
tled to additional credit  in  a  competitive  examination  as  provided
[herein] IN THIS SECTION, may make application for such additional cred-
it  at  any time between the date of his OR HER application for examina-
tion and the date of the establishment of the resulting  eligible  list.
Such  candidates  shall  be allowed a period of not less than two months
from the date of the filing of his OR HER application for examination in
which to establish by appropriate documentary proof his OR HER eligibil-
ity to receive additional credit under this section. At any  time  after
two months have elapsed since the final date for filing applications for
a  competitive  examination  for  original appointment or promotion, the
eligible list  resulting  from  such  examination  may  be  established,
notwithstanding  the  fact  that  a  veteran or disabled veteran who has
applied for additional credit has failed to establish his OR HER  eligi-
bility  to  receive  such  additional  credit.  A candidate who fails to
establish, by appropriate documentary proof, his OR HER  eligibility  to
receive  additional  credit  by the time an eligible list is established
shall not thereafter be granted additional credit on such eligible list.
NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, BELATED  APPLICATION  FOR  AN  ADDITIONAL
CREDIT  AS A VETERAN OR DISABLED VETERAN MAY BE MADE BY AN APPLICANT WHO

 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
