SPONSOR: TEDISCO
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to authorize the commissioner of the department of civil service
to reinstate Jarrod Iler on the eligible civil service list for employ-
ment as a police officer in the city of Saratoga Springs

 
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:

This act will reinstate former Troy City police officer Jarrod Iler on
the civil service list to make him eligible to serve as a police officer
in the city of Saratoga Springs in spite of the fact that he is 36 years
old and the age limit for new police officers is 35 years of age.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

§ 1. Notwithstanding the provision of section 58 of the civil service
law or any other provision of law to the contrary, Jarrod Iler, who was
eligible to sit for the civil service exam for police officers on Novem-
ber 19, 2011, and was eligible for employment as a police officer for

the city of Troy, New York, at that time, and who took and passed said
exam on November 19, 2011, and whose name appeared on the next civil
service eligible list, and who served as a police officer in the city of
Troy, New York from 2013 to 2020, and who is now thirty-six years of age
and no longer deemed eligible for employment as a police officer due to
the 35-year maximum age limit for police officers pursuant to section 58
of the civil service law, shall be exempt from said thirty-five-yearold
maximum age limit and shall be eligible for employment as a police offi-
cer in the city of Saratoga Springs, New York. Jarrod Iler shall other-
wise be subject to the merit and fitness provisions of the civil service
laws applicable to full-time police officers.

§ 2. Reinstates Jarrod Iler's civil service eligibility.

 
JUSTIFICATION:  Officer Jarrod Iler sat for the civil service exam to
become a police officer on November 13, 2011, and subsequently worked as
a police officer in the City of Troy Police Department from 2013 to
2020. At that point he left the state and worked as a police officer in
Florida in the City of Port St. Lucie and Palm Beach County. He recently
returned to the state and, while his police certification is still
active (expires August 2024), he is outside of the one- year window in
Civil Service Law § 58(4)(b) for reinstatement and one year over the age
limit of 35 for new hires. This bill will make him exempt from the
35-year maximum age limit and reinstate him on the civil service eligi-
bility list for employment as a police officer in the city of Saratoga
Springs,

 
PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

This is a new bill.

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS:

None.
