BILL NUMBER:S4824 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the town law, in relation to the employer's ability to suspend a police officer without pay pending disciplinary charges PURPOSE: This Legislation would make Town Law consistent with Civil Service Law and Village Law by limiting the period of suspension of a police officer without pay pending a hearing on disciplinary charges to thirty days. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: § 1 - amends section 155 of the Town Law, to require that a town board shall have the power to suspend, without pay, pending the trial of charges, any member of such police department in accordance with section 75(3) of the Civil Service Law. § 2 - provides for an immediate effective date. EXISTING LAW: Section 75 of the Civil Service Law is the default provision governing the prosecution of disciplinary charges against the majority public employees in New York State, including police officers. Many police collective bargaining agreements contain provisions replacing § 75 with alternative disciplinary procedures agreed to by the employer and the representative employee
