BILL NUMBER: S7782

SPONSOR: CANZONERI-FITZPATRICK
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act designating Richard Ernyey eligible to take the competitive civil
service examination for the position of police officer

 
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL::

To designate Richard Ernyey eligible to take the competitive civil
service examination for the position of police officer.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS::

Section 1. Establishes the provisions that Richard Ernyey be eligible to
take the competitive civil service examination for the position of
police officer for the city of New York, and contingent upon his score
of examination, be eligible for placement on the eligible list for
appointment as a full-time police officer.

Section 2. Establishes that Richard Ernyey shall be subject to the merit

and fitness provisions of the civil service law and the administrative
code of the city of New York.

Section 3. Establishes the effective date.

 
JUSTIFICATION::

Richard Ernyey served on New York City's police force for almost a
decade, before a change in his family's plans required a relocation out
of state. After leaving the department to make the move, family plans
changed and Mr. Ernyey and his family remain in their home state of New
York. He seeks to be reinstated to the City's police department, and
scored competitively on the police officer exam in November 2022. Upon
his appearance for the next step, his medical exam, he was told he had
aged out by four months. At a time when police officers are in great
need, it would be most prudent for the City to consider Mr. Ernyey's
reassignment to the force, especially considering his prior excellent
service and high exam scores. Mr. Ernyey is ready and eager to serve
again.

 
PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY::

New Bill.

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS::

None directly to the State.

 
EFFECTIVE DATE::

immediately.
