  Section 1. Subdivision 1-d of section 80 of the civil service law,  as
added by chapter 731 of the laws of 2004, is amended to read as follows:
  1-d.  Notwithstanding  the  provisions  of  subdivision  one  of  this
section, the sworn members of the police force of the county  of  Nassau
AND THE SWORN MEMBERS OF THE POLICE FORCE OF THE COUNTY OF SUFFOLK shall
be  subject  to  the  following  procedure.  Where,  because of economy,
consolidation or abolition of functions, curtailment  of  activities  or
otherwise,  positions  in the competitive class are abolished or reduced
in rank or salary grade, suspension or demotion, as  the  case  may  be,
among  incumbents holding the same or similar positions shall be made in
the inverse order of original appointment on a permanent  basis  in  the
grade  or title in the service of the governmental jurisdiction in which
such  abolition  or  reduction  of  positions  occurs,  subject  to  the
provisions  of subdivision seven of section eighty-five of this chapter.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this subdivision,  however,  upon  the
abolition  or  reduction  of  positions,  those  employees  who have not
completed their probationary service shall be suspended or  demoted,  as
the  case may be, before any permanent incumbents, and among such proba-
tionary employees the order of suspension or demotion  shall  be  deter-
mined as if such employees were permanent incumbents.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
