BILL NUMBER: S8270 SPONSOR: GOLDEN TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the civil service law, in relation to the negotiability of discipline affecting public employees PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: To preserve the ability of competitive class public employees to negoti- ate disciplinary procedures that affect them in their employment. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: This bill amends the Civil Service Law to modify the language relied on by several courts in holding disciplinary procedures to be outside the protection of the Taylor Law where any other law commits discipline to the discretion of local officials and to rake at clear that police offi- cers and fire fighters and all other competitive class public employees in this state are entitled to collectively bargain the disciplinary

S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 8270 I N S E N A T E April 25, 2018 ___________ Introduced by Sen. GOLDEN -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Civil Service and Pensions AN ACT to amend the civil service law, in relation to the negotiability of discipline affecting public employees THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Legislative findings and declarations. The legislature hereby finds, declares and reaffirms that the 1967 Public Employees' Fair Employment Act establishes that the public policy of the state, and the purpose of the act, is to promote harmonious and cooperative relationships between government and its employees and to protect the public by assuring, at all times, the orderly and uninterrupted opera- tion and functions of government. Included among the policies adopted was the requirement that the state, local governments, and other poli- tical subdivisions negotiate and enter into agreements with employee organizations about terms and conditions of employment. Over the many years subsequent to the enactment of such act, the negotiability of discipline, including disciplinary procedures, has been fully endorsed by the public employment relations board and disciplinary procedures have been incorporated into collective bargaining agreements throughout the state. The legislature now declares that this practice of negotiat- ing fair disciplinary protections and procedures for public employees must continue. A recent court of appeals' decision involving police officers in the city of Schenectady has erroneously declared that the "public policy" of the state is to prohibit absolutely the negotiation of disciplinary procedures in certain places where there exist legislative enactments on the subject of discipline. The legislature declares a necessity for the enactment of this act to ensure that discipline, including disciplinary procedures, will continue as a mandatory subject of collective negoti- ation, and that collective bargaining agreements addressing that subject remain valid and enforceable and to enhance the prohibition against strikes and the protection against the destruction of vital public services delivered by public employees throughout the state.
