S1311-2011 Memo

BILL NUMBER:S1311

TITLE OF BILL:
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION OF THE SENATE AND ASSEMBLY
proposing an amendment
to section 6 of article 5 of the constitution, in relation to veterans'
credits for civil service appointments and promotions

PURPOSE:
Would allow any person who has received an appointment through civil
service to be entitled to additional credit if said individual was
classified as a veteran with disabilities after the first appointment
or promotion.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Amend Article 5 Section 6 of the Constitution to provide that in
circumstances where a person has used a veteran's credit for civil
service purposes and thereafter is classified as a disabled veteran,
the additional credit which would be garnered by that designation may
be used for a subsequent test or appointment.

JUSTIFICATION:
Current law only allows veterans credit to be used once and does not
allow for the veteran to apply additional credits if they are
classified as disabled at a later date. This legislation would
benefit individuals who, through no fault of their own, were not
classified as a veteran with disabilities at the time of their first
appointment.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
2009-10, S.737; 2007-08, S.6713

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
None.

EFFECTIVE DATE:
RESOLVED (if the Assembly concur), That the foregoing amendments
be referred to the first regular legislative session convening after
the next succeeding general election of members of the assembly, and,
in conformity with section 1 of article 19 of the constitution, be
published for 3 months previous to the time of such election.

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

              CONCURRENT RESOLUTION OF THE SENATE AND ASSEMBLY

  proposing an amendment to section 6 of article 5 of the constitution, in
    relation to veterans'  credits  for  civil  service  appointments  and
    promotions

    Section  1. Resolved (if the Assembly concur), That section 6 of arti-
  cle 5 of the constitution be amended to read as follows:

    S 6. Appointments and promotions in the civil service of the state and
  all of the civil divisions thereof, including cities and villages, shall
  be made according to merit and fitness to  be  ascertained,  as  far  as
  practicable,  by  examination  which,  as  far  as practicable, shall be
  competitive; provided, however, that any member of the armed  forces  of
  the  United  States  who  served therein in time of war, and who, at the
  time of such member's appointment or promotion, is a citizen or an alien
  lawfully admitted for permanent residence in the  United  States  and  a
  resident  of  this  state  and is honorably discharged or released under
  honorable circumstances from such service, shall be entitled to  receive
  five  points additional credit in a competitive examination for original
  appointment and two and one-half points additional credit in an examina-
  tion for promotion or,  if  such  member  was  disabled  in  the  actual
  performance of duty in any war and his or her disability is certified by
  the  United  States department of veterans affairs to be in existence at
  the time of application for appointment or promotion, he or she shall be
  entitled to receive ten points additional credit in a competitive  exam-
  ination for original appointment and five points additional credit in an
  examination  for promotion. Such additional credit shall be added to the
  final earned rating of such member after he or she has qualified  in  an
  examination and shall be granted only at the time of establishment of an
  eligible list. No such member shall receive the additional credit grant-
  ed  by this section after he or she has received one appointment, either
  original entrance or promotion, from an eligible list on which he or she

  next  succeeding  general  election  of members of the assembly, and, in
  conformity with  section  1  of  article  19  of  the  constitution,  be
  published for 3 months previous to the time of such election.
