Go to topNEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY
MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION
submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)   BILL NUMBER: A6480 SPONSOR: Burdick
  TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the civil service law, in relation to allowing an individual with disabilities or a disabled veteran to hold full-time or part-time positions for purposes of eligibility for recruitment for state employment   PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: To create more employment opportunities for people with disabilities by amending sections 55-b, 55-c and section 55-d of the Civil Service Law to create part-time work opportunities for state employment.   SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1. Subdivision 1 amends section 55-b of the chapter 603 of the laws of 1995 Section 2. Subdivision 1 amends section 55-c of civil service law, as 18 amended by Chapter 340 of the laws of 2008. Section 3. amends section 59-d of the civil service laws of 2022, as added by chapter 402 for the laws of 2022. Section 4 is the effective date.   JUSTIFICATION: Disabled veterans and other people with disabilities experience much higher unemployment rates than the general population. This legislation creates more employment opportunities for disabled people by creating more opportunities for part=time employment within the New York State government for people with disabilities. Currently the Civil service Law provides for up to 1200 civil service positions to be filled by people with physical or intellectual disabili- ties. This bill would amend the relevant sections of the law to allow each position to be filled by both full or part-time workers. Positions designated to be filled pursuant to this section may be filled on a full-time or part-time basis. Upon such determination, the said positions shall be classified in the noncompetitive class. The department of Civil service shall make publicly available on its website all employment opportunities in the civil service of the state and information on obtaining employment with the state, including, but not limited to, vacancies in the competitive, noncompetitive and labor jurisdictional classes, announcements for upcoming open competitive and promotional examinations, test application instructions, and desig- nations of which employment opportunities are eligible to be filled by individuals with disabilities and veterans with disabilities, including whether such positions may be filled on a full-time or part-time basis. The amendments to the existing Civil Service law will help create more opportunities for people with disabilities and be a part of a framework for increasing overall employment for people with disabilities.   PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: This is a new bill.   FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS: None.   EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect on the first of January next succeeding the date upon which it shall have become a law.
