Authorizes Edward P. Ackley to take the competitive civil service examination and be placed on the eligible civil service list for employment as a full-time police officer for the village of Hudson Falls.

2017-S9011 - Sponsor Memo

                                
 
BILL NUMBER: S9011

SPONSOR: LITTLE
 
TITLE OF BILL:  An act to authorize the commissioner of the department
of civil service to reinstate Edward P.  Ackley on the eligible civil
service list for employment as a full-time police officer for the
village of Hudson Falls

 
PURPOSE:

Authorizes Edward P. Ackley to take the competitive exam for police
officer and be placed on the eligible list for such position in the
Village of Hudson Falls.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1: Authorizes Edward P. Ackley to sit for the civil service exam
and be placed on the eligibility list for full time police officer for
the Village of Hudson Falls.

Section 2: Establishes the effective date as immediately.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

Due to the provisions under the Civil Service Law, the Village of Hudson
Falls has requested legislation to permit one of their part-time offi-
cers, Edward P. Ackley, to be eligible to take the civil service exam-
ination since he is currently older than 35 years old.

Recruiting and retaining well-qualified full time police officers is
challenging for small and rural police departments. At the request of
the Mayor of the Village of Hudson Falls and the Chief of Police, and by
resolution of the Village Council, this bill would address this issue by
allowing a part time police officer of the Village of Hudson Falls
Police Department to be eligible for full time status. While age
restrictions certainly have practical value, they do not always reflect
the ability of some candidates to perform full time police duties.
According to the Chief of Police, Officer Ackley (part time since 2016)
is perfectly competent to perform the duties required of a full time
police officer, rating his skills as "exemplary" even outperforming some
of his younger coworkers.

 
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

None.

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

None.

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately.

 service  law  or  any  other provision of law to the contrary, Edward P.

 nition  of police officers subject to a thirty-five year old maximum age
 limit, shall be exempt from said thirty-five year old maximum age  limit
 and shall be eligible for employment as a village of Hudson Falls police
 officer.  Edward P.   Ackley shall otherwise be subject to the merit and
 fitness provisions of the civil service  laws  applicable  to  full-time
 police officers.
   §  2.  The commissioner of the department of civil service shall rein-
 state Edward P. Ackley on the eligible civil service list, without  lost

 with the state comptroller by January 1, 2019.   Any such  reinstatement
 shall be effective immediately.
   § 3. This act shall take effect immediately.
