BILL NUMBER: S6462 TITLE OF BILL : CONCURRENT RESOLUTION OF THE SENATE AND ASSEMBLY proposing an amendment to section 6 of article 5 of the constitution, in relation to civil service appointments of veterans PURPOSE : Would allow any person who has received an appointment through civil service to be entitled to additional credit if said individual was classified as a veteran with disabilities after the first appointment or promotion. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS : Amend Article 5 Section 6 of the Constitution to provide veterans who have received an appointment through civil service to be entitled to additional credit if said individual was classified as a veteran with disabilities after the first appointment or promotion. JUSTIFICATION : Current law only allows veterans credit to be used once and does not allow for the veteran to apply additional credits if they are classified as disabled at a later date. This legislation would amend the New York State Constitution to benefit individuals who, through no fault of their own, were not classified as a veteran with disabilities at the time of their first appointment. LEGISLATIVE HISTORY : 2007: Similar to S.3305A.
