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

  Section 1. Section 210 of the executive law, as amended by chapter 169
of the laws of 1994, is amended to read as follows:
  S 210. Division  of  state police. The division of state police in the
executive department shall be known as the "New York State Police."  The
head  of  the New York state police shall be the superintendent of state
police who shall be appointed by the governor by and with the advice and
consent of the senate, and hold office [during his or her pleasure]  FOR
FIXED THREE-YEAR TERMS, SUBJECT TO REAPPOINTMENT FOR ADDITIONAL TERMS OR
TO  TERMINATION OF SERVICE BY THE GOVERNOR AND SUBJECT TO THE ADVICE AND
CONSENT OF THE SENATE. The superintendent shall be a member of the state
police, shall receive as salary such sum as may be appropriated by  law,
and shall accrue such leave credits and be eligible for the same retire-
ment benefits, service credits and other benefits as any other member of
the state police. If, prior to appointment, the superintendent served as
a  member  of  the  state  police, he or she, upon appointment, shall be
entitled to continue to accrue and receive such credits and benefits  as
he  or  she  would  have  been  entitled  to accrue and receive prior to
appointment.
  If, prior to his or her appointment,  the  superintendent  shall  have
served  as  a  member  of  the State Police for a period of ten years or
more, he or she shall, provided he or she is not  eligible  for  retire-
ment,  upon  EXPIRATION  OR termination of service as superintendent, be
reappointed, without examination, as a member of the state police in the
grade held by  him  or  her  prior  to  appointment  as  superintendent,
notwithstanding  the  absence  of  any  vacancy in such grade.   For the
purpose of determining the annual salary to be paid upon such reappoint-
ment, the period of  service  as  superintendent  shall  be  counted  as
service in the grade to which reappointed.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
