 AN  ACT to amend the civil service law, in relation to permitting tempo-

   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. Subdivision 3 of section 64 of the civil  service  law,  as
 added by chapter 626 of the laws of 1960, is amended to read as follows:
   3.  Temporary  appointments  without examination in exceptional cases.
 Notwithstanding the provisions of  subdivisions  one  and  two  of  this
 section,  the  civil  service  department or municipal commission having
 jurisdiction may authorize a temporary appointment, without examination,
 when the person appointed will render professional, scientific,  techni-
 cal  or  other  expert  services  (1) on an occasional basis or (2) on a
 full-time or regular part-time basis in a temporary position established
 to conduct a special study or project for a period not exceeding  [eigh-
 teen]  THIRTY-SIX  months.  Such appointment may be authorized only in a
 case where, because of the nature of the services to be rendered and the
 temporary or occasional character of such  services,  it  would  not  be
 practicable to hold an examination of any kind.
   § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
