AN ACT to amend the civil service law, in relation to deferring eligible
  lists for persons called to active duty in military service

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

  Section  1.  Subdivision  1 of section 56 of the civil service law, as
amended by chapter 411 of the laws  of  1993,  is  amended  to  read  as
follows:
  1.  The  duration  of an eligible list shall be fixed at not less than
one nor more than four years; provided that, except for lists promulgat-
ed for police officer positions in jurisdictions other than the city  of
New  York, in the event that a restriction against the filling of vacan-
cies exists in any jurisdiction, the state civil service  department  or
municipal commission having jurisdiction shall, in the discretion of the
department or commission, extend the duration of any eligible list for a
period  equal  to  the length of such restriction against the filling of
vacancies; AND PROVIDED FURTHER THAT, IN THE EVENT THAT AN APPLICANT  OR
ELIGIBLE WHO IS ON AN ELIGIBLE LIST IS CALLED TO ACTIVE DUTY IN MILITARY
SERVICE, AS SUCH TERM IS DEFINED IN SUBDIVISION ONE OF SECTION 10-102 OF
THE  ELECTION  LAW,  THE  DURATION OF SUCH ELIGIBLE LIST WITH RESPECT TO
SUCH APPLICANT OR ELIGIBLE SHALL BE DEFERRED FOR A PERIOD EQUAL  TO  THE
LENGTH  OF  SUCH ACTIVE DUTY.  Restriction against the filling of vacan-
cies shall mean any policy, whether by  executive  order  or  otherwise,
which,  because of a financial emergency, prevents or limits the filling
of vacancies in a title for which a list has been promulgated. An eligi-
ble list that has been in existence for one year or more shall terminate
upon the establishment of an  appropriate  new  list,  unless  otherwise
prescribed by the state civil service department or municipal commission
having jurisdiction.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
