AN ACT to direct the president of the state civil service commission to
study and report upon how the use of a career portfolio application
process would impact diversity, recruitment and hiring of minorities
in the public sector
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The president of the state civil service commission shall
cause a study to be performed to analyze how the use of a career portfo-
lio application process, rather than an exam-only process, would impact
diversity, recruitment and hiring of minorities in the public sector.
Such study shall consider the account portfolio application process in
other states or in other countries and it shall examine how such process
impacts minority recruitment and hiring. A career portfolio application
shall be defined as a visual representation of a job candidate's abili-
ties, skills, capabilities, knowledge, qualities, experiences, accom-
plishments, education, interests, professional goals and objectives and
it represents a candidate's work potential. Such career portfolio appli-
cation is a collection of tangible materials that represent work-related
events and accomplishments in a candidate's life.
§ 2. On or before two hundred seventy days after the effective date of
this act, the president of the state civil service commission shall
complete the study conducted pursuant to section one of this act and
shall thereafter deliver a copy of the findings of the study and any
legislative recommendations he or she deems to be necessary to the
governor, the temporary president of the senate and the speaker of the
assembly.
§ 3. This act shall take effect immediately.
EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
