BILL NUMBER:S4262
TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the civil service law, in relation to
veterans and competitive civil service exam points
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:
This bill gives honorably discharged disabled veterans who have
received specific decorations for service in active combat additional
bonus points on a competitive examination for civil service employment.
Additional points are currently granted to all honorably discharged
veterans on such exams, with bonus points given to disabled veterans
whose disabilities were incurred during war. This bill gives disabled
veterans who have received decorations for service in active combat
the same amount of points on these exams that are currently received
by disabled veterans whose injuries were incurred in war.
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Section One amends paragraph (a) of subdivision 1 of section 85 of the
civil service law, as amended by chapter 333 of the laws of 1993, to
include members of the armed forces who are awarded a Combat Action
Ribbon, Combat Infantryman Badge, Combat Medical Badge, Combat Action
Badge, Combat Recognition Ribbon or Air Force Combat Action Medal in
the definition of "veteran", as long as they meet all other discharge
and residency requirements, for purposes of that section.
