  Section 1. Paragraph (a) of subdivision 1 of section 85-a of the civil
service law, as amended by chapter 75 of the laws of 2008, is amended to
read as follows:
  (a) On all eligible lists resulting from competitive examinations, the
names of eligible persons shall be entered in the order of their respec-
tive final earned ratings on examinations, with the name of the eligible
person  with  the highest final earned ratings at the head of such list,
provided, however, that for the  purpose  of  determining  final  earned
ratings, children of firefighters and police officers killed in the line
of  duty  shall  be  entitled  to  receive an additional ten points in a
competitive examination for original appointment  in  the  same  munici-
pality  in  which his or her parent has served. For the purposes of this
paragraph, a police officer or  firefighter  shall  be  deemed  to  have
"served"  in  a  municipality  if  he  or she was employed by, or worked
primarily in, that municipality. AS USED IN THIS SECTION, "KILLED IN THE
LINE OF DUTY" SHALL INCLUDE, BUT NOT BE LIMITED TO, HAVING DIED  IN  THE
PERFORMANCE  OF  DUTY  AS  THE NATURAL AND PROXIMATE RESULT OF THE WORLD

NATURAL  AND PROXIMATE RESULT OF PARTICIPATION IN THE RESCUE EFFORT THAT
WAS CONDUCTED IN RESPONSE TO SUCH ATTACK.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
