 Introduced by Sen. GOUNARDES -- read twice and ordered printed, and when

 AN  ACT  to  amend  the  civil  service law, in relation to establishing
   continuing eligible lists
 
   THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

   Section  1.   Section 57 of the civil service law, as added by chapter
 83 of the laws of 1963, is amended to read as follows:
   § 57. Continuous recruitment for certain positions.    Notwithstanding
 any other provisions of this chapter or any other law, the civil service
 department or a municipal commission may establish a continuing eligible
 list  for  any class of positions for which it finds [inadequate numbers
 of well qualified persons available for recruitment] SUCH  LISTS  APPRO-
 PRIATE.  THE  CIVIL  SERVICE  DEPARTMENT  MAY  ONLY ESTABLISH CONTINUING
 ELIGIBLE LISTS FOR ANY CLASS POSITIONS FILLED  THROUGH  OPEN-COMPETITIVE
 EXAMINATION. Names of eligibles shall be inserted in such list from time
 to  time  as  applicants  are tested and found qualified in examinations
 held at such intervals as may be prescribed by the civil service depart-
 ment or municipal commission having jurisdiction. Such successive  exam-
 inations shall, so far as practicable, be constructed and rated so as to
 be  equivalent tests of the merit and fitness of candidates. The name of
 any candidate who passes any such examination and who is otherwise qual-
 ified shall be placed on the continuing eligible list in the rank corre-
 sponding to his final rating on such examination. The period  of  eligi-
 bility  of  successful candidates for certification and appointment from
 such continuing eligible list, as a  result  of  any  such  examination,
 shall  be  fixed by the civil service department or municipal commission
 but, except as a list may reach an announced terminal date, such  period
 shall  not  be  less than one year; nor shall such period of eligibility
 exceed four years. Subject to such conditions  and  limitations  as  the
 civil service department or municipal commission may prescribe, a candi-
 date may take more than one such examination; provided, however, that no
 such candidate shall be certified simultaneously with more than one rank
 on  the  continuing  eligible  list.  With  respect to any candidate who
