  municipal  commission  may  refuse  to  examine  an  applicant or, after
  examination, to certify an individual who has been placed on a certified
  eligible list, nor shall such person be  deemed  to  be  unfit  for  the
  performance of the duties of a position solely because such person has a
  history  of  cancer,  provided  such  person  is  able  to  perform in a
  reasonable manner the activities involved  in  the  position  sought  or
  held.
2.  Nothing  contained in this section shall be construed to limit the
  scope of section two hundred ninety-six of the executive law.
3. A violation  of  this  section  shall  be  considered  an  unlawful

2023 New York Laws › CVS - Civil Service › Article 4 - Recruitment of Personnel › Title A - Examinations and Eligible Lists › 51 - Filling Vacancies by Open Competitive Examination.

§ 51. Filling  vacancies by open competitive examination. 1.  Upon the
  written request of the appointing officer stating his reasons  therefor,
  or  on  its  own  initiative,  the  state  civil  service  department or
  appropriate municipal  commission  may  determine  to  conduct  an  open
  competitive  examination for filling a vacancy or vacancies instead of a
  promotion examination.
2. Except where the state  civil  service  department  or  appropriate
  municipal  commission  finds  that  there  are  less  than three persons
  eligible for promotion in the promotion unit where the  vacancy  exists,
  or  in  the  department,  if such vacancy is not in a separate promotion
  unit, and except where the department or municipal commission determines
  to  conduct  an   open   competitive   and   a   promotion   examination
  simultaneously,  a  notice of intention to conduct such open competitive
  examination or a copy of  the  appointing  officer's  request  for  open
  competitive  examination,  as  the  case  may  be, shall be publicly and
  conspicuously posted in the offices of both the appointing  officer  and
  the  state  civil service department or appropriate municipal commission
  and such request shall not be acted upon  until  said  notice  has  been
  posted as aforesaid for a period of not less than fifteen days.
3. Any  employee  who  believes that a promotion examination should be
  held for filling such vacancy may submit  to  the  state  civil  service
  department  or appropriate municipal commission his request, in writing,
  for a promotion examination rather than an open competitive examination,
  stating the reasons why he believes it to  be  practicable  and  in  the
  public interest to fill the vacancy by promotion examination.

2023 New York Laws › CVS - Civil Service › Article 4 - Recruitment of Personnel › Title A - Examinations and Eligible Lists › 54 - Age Requirements.

§ 54. Age  requirements.  Notwithstanding  any provision of law to the
  contrary, except as herein provided, neither  the  state  civil  service
  department  nor  the  state  civil service commission, nor any municipal
  civil  service  commission  shall  prohibit,  prevent,  disqualify,   or
  discriminate   against,  any  person  who  is  physically  and  mentally
  qualified, from participating in a civil  service  examination  or  from
  qualifying  for  a position in the classified civil service, or penalize
  any such person in a final rating by reason of his or her age;  and  any
  such  rule, requirement, resolution, regulation or penalization shall be
  void. Nothing herein contained, however, shall prevent the  adoption  of
  reasonable  minimum  or  maximum  age  requirements for open competitive
  examinations for positions where it is determined by the department  and
  approved   by  the  commission  that  such  age  requirements  would  be
  reasonable  minimum  qualification  for  such  position.   Minimum   age
  requirements  shall  in  no case prohibit an applicant who is within six
  months of the  minimum  age  requirement  from  taking  any  competitive
  examination. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to prohibit the
  disqualification, on account of age, of any applicant for a position who
  has  reached  the  mandatory  retirement  age  applicable by law to such
  position.

  disabled but capable veterans shall  be  given  to  those  veterans  who
  received  a wound in combat, as documented by the awarding of the purple
  heart, as authorized by the United States  department  of  defense,  and
  that  wound  is the cause of, or a substantially contributing factor to,
  the degree of impairment, who otherwise meet the  requirements  of  this
  section. The number of veterans appointed pursuant to this section shall

2023 New York Laws › CVS - Civil Service › Article 4 - Recruitment of Personnel › Title A - Examinations and Eligible Lists › 57 - Continuous Recruitment for Certain Positions.

§ 57. Continuous  recruitment  for  certain positions. Notwithstanding
  any other provisions of this chapter or any other law, the civil service
  department or a municipal commission may establish a continuing eligible
  list  for  any  class  of  positions  for  which  it  finds  such  lists
  appropriate.  The civil service department may only establish continuing
  eligible  lists  for  any  class  of  positions  filled   through   open
  competitive  examination.  Names  of eligibles shall be inserted in such
  list from time to time as applicants are tested and found  qualified  in
  examinations  held  at  such intervals as may be prescribed by the civil
  service department or municipal  commission  having  jurisdiction.  Such
  successive examinations shall, so far as practicable, be constructed and
  rated  so  as  to  be  equivalent  tests  of  the  merit  and fitness of
  candidates. The name of any candidate who passes  any  such  examination
  and  who  is  otherwise  qualified  shall  be  placed  on the continuing
  eligible list in the rank corresponding to his or her  final  rating  on
  such examination. The period of eligibility of successful candidates for
  certification  and  appointment from such continuing eligible list, as a
  result of any such examination, shall be  fixed  by  the  civil  service
  department  or  municipal  commission but, except as a list may reach an
  announced terminal date, such period shall not be less  than  one  year;
  nor  shall such period of eligibility exceed four years. Subject to such
  conditions and limitations as the civil service department or  municipal
  commission  may  prescribe,  a  candidate  may  take  more than one such
  examination;  provided,  however,  that  no  such  candidate  shall   be
  certified  simultaneously  with  more  than  one  rank on the continuing
  eligible list. With respect to any candidate  who  applies  for  and  is
  granted  additional  credit  in  any  such  examination as a disabled or
  non-disabled veteran, and for  the  limited  purpose  of  granting  such
  additional  credit,  the eligible list shall be deemed to be established
  on the date on which his or her name is added thereto.
2023 New York Laws › CVS - Civil Service › Article 4 - Recruitment of Personnel › Title A - Examinations and Eligible Lists › 59 - Placement of County Sheriffs' Personnel in Classified Service.

§ 59. Placement  of  county sheriffs' personnel in classified service.
  1. The legislature  hereby  finds  that  the  continued,  uninterrupted,
  adequate and efficient operation of the sheriff's department in counties
  in  New  York  state  outside  the city of New York is necessary for the
  general welfare of the people  of  such  counties;  that  such  adequate
  operation  involves  and  requires  personnel  with  highly  specialized
  ability, skill,  training  and  knowledge,  integrated  and  unified  by
  practical  experience;  that  the January first, nineteen hundred ninety
  amendment to subdivision (a) of section thirteen of article thirteen  of
  the  New  York  state constitution brings appointees of a county sheriff
  into the classified service  of  the  civil  service;  that  to  require
  competitive  examination  for  valid  appointment  of  appointees of the
  county  sheriff  within  the  classified   service   would   irreparably
  disorganize county sheriffs' departments and endanger the public safety,
  interrupt  the  continuance  and  performance  of the important services
  performed by such sheriff's departments, and place  an  undue  financial
  burden on their respective counties.
2. Notwithstanding the provisions of this chapter or any provisions to
  the  contrary  contained  in  any  general,  special, or local laws, all
  lawful appointees of a county sheriff employed as of the effective  date
  of this section whose employments hereinbefore were considered not to be
  subject to the civil service law, shall continue to hold their positions
  without  further  examination  or  qualification  and shall have all the
  rights and privileges of the jurisdictional classification to which such
  positions may be allocated in the classified service of  the  county  in
  which they are employed.
2023 New York Laws › CVS - Civil Service › Article 4 - Recruitment of Personnel › Title A - Examinations and Eligible Lists › 59-A - Placement of Detectives and Investigators in Classified Service.

§  59-a.  Placement  of  detectives  and  investigators  in classified
  service.   1.  The  legislature  hereby  finds  and  declares  that  the
  continued,  uninterrupted, adequate and efficient operation of detective
  and  investigative  units  in  local  police,  correction  or   sheriffs
  departments  is  necessary  for  the general welfare of the people; that
  such adequate operation involves  and  requires  personnel  with  highly
  specialized  ability,  skill,  training, and knowledge; that local civil
  service commissions may decide to classify  such  positions  where  they
  constitute  bona  fide  civil  service positions as evidenced by factors
  including enhanced pay, benefits, and dignity of  position;  that  while
  competitive   examination   has  been  deemed  practicable  for  certain
  detective and investigator positions, to require  such  examination  for
  valid  appointment  of current long standing employees would irreparably
  disorganize detective or investigative operations, endanger  the  public
  safety,  interrupt the continuity and effective performance of important
  investigatory operations.
2. Notwithstanding the provisions of this chapter or any provisions to
  the contrary contained in any  general,  special,  or  local  laws,  any
  person  holding  a  permanent  competitive class appointment as a police
  officer, correction officer of any rank or deputy sheriff  in  a  police
  force,  police department or sheriffs department in a jurisdiction other
  than a city with a population of  one  million  or  more  or  the  state
  department  of corrections and community supervision, who was serving in
  a detective or investigator  capacity,  as  designated  by  such  police
  force,  police  department  or  sheriffs  department,  on  the date such
  position was classified by the local  civil  service  commission  having
  jurisdiction and for at least eighteen months immediately preceding such
  date,   shall   receive  a  permanent  appointment  to  a  detective  or
  investigator position, in such title as may be  properly  classified  by
  the  local civil service commission having jurisdiction, without further
  examination  or  qualifications  and  shall  have  all  the  rights  and
  privileges  of  the  jurisdictional  class to which such position may be
  allocated.
2023 New York Laws › CVS - Civil Service › Article 4 - Recruitment of Personnel › Title A - Examinations and Eligible Lists › 59-B - Promotions of Supervisory Personnel of the Emergency Medical Service.

§  59-b.  Promotions of supervisory personnel of the emergency medical
  service.  1.  The  legislature  hereby  finds  and  declares  that   the
  continued,  uninterrupted, adequate and efficient operation of emergency
  medical services is necessary for the general  welfare  of  the  people;
  that such adequate operation involves and requires personnel with highly
  specialized  ability,  skill,  training and knowledge, which necessitate
  that vacancies in the emergency medical services  in  the  positions  of
  Supervising  Emergency  Medical  Service Specialist Level II (Captains),
  Deputy Chief, Division Chief, and Division Commander, shall be filled as
  far as practicable by promotion from among persons  holding  competitive
  class  positions in a lower grade in the department in which the vacancy
  exists, provided that such lower grade positions are in direct  line  of
  promotion, as determined by the department or municipal commission.
2.  Promotion  shall  be  based  on merit and fitness as determined by
  competitive examination,  due  weight  being  given  to  seniority.  The
  previous  training  and  experience  of  the candidates, and performance
  ratings where available, may be  considered  and  given  due  weight  as
  factors  in determining the relative merit and fitness of candidates for
  promotion.
3.  Any  permanent  competitive  employee  holding  a  provisional  or
  discretionary  appointment  in  the  affected  supervisory titles of the
  emergency medical service described in subdivision one of  this  section
  shall   be  given  the  opportunity  to  participate  in  a  competitive
  promotional examination for the next higher level title.
4. Except as provided above, the  provisions  of  this  chapter  shall
  apply to employees covered by this section.
2023 New York Laws › CVS - Civil Service › Article 4 - Recruitment of Personnel › Title A - Examinations and Eligible Lists › 59-D - Public Posting of Employment Opportunities.

§  59-d.  Public  posting  of employment opportunities. The department
  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,

  classes, announcements for  upcoming  open-competitive  and  promotional
  examinations,  test  application instructions, and designations 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,  pursuant  to
  section  fifty-five-b  and section fifty-five-c, as amended by a chapter
  of the laws of two thousand twenty-three, of this title.  The  president
  shall  work  in  conjunction with the New York state department of labor
  and the governor's office of employee relations in order  to  effectuate
  the provisions of this section.
2023 New York Laws › CVS - Civil Service › Article 4 - Recruitment of Personnel › Title B - Appointment and Promotion › 60 - Certification of Eligible Lists.

§ 60. Certification  of  eligible lists. 1. Certification of eligibles
  from prior list. When an eligible list has been in  existence  for  less
  than  one year and contains the names of less than three persons willing
  to accept appointment, and a new list for the same position or group  of
  positions  is established, the names of the persons remaining on the old
  list shall have preference in certification over the new list until such
  old list is one year old, and during such period  such  names  shall  be
  certified  along  with  enough  names  from  the new list to provide the
  appointing officer with a sufficient  number  of  eligibles  from  which
  selection  for appointment may be made. Where an old list which has been
  in existence for one year or more is continued upon the establishment of
  a new list which contains less  than  three  names,  the  civil  service
  department  or  a  municipal commission may certify the names on the old
  list along with enough names from the new list to provide the appointing
  officer with a sufficient number of eligibles from which  selection  for
  appointment may be made.
2.  Certification  on  basis  of  sex.  The  state department of civil
  service or  the  municipal  commission  having  jurisdiction  may  limit
  certification  from  an  eligible list to one sex when the duties of the
  position involved relate to the institutional or other custody  or  care
  of  persons  of  the  same sex, or visitation, inspection or work of any
  kind the nature of which requires sex selection.
3. Certification of lists  for  state  positions.  Certifications  for
  appointments  to  positions  in  the  state  service,  regardless of the
  location thereof, shall be made from the state-wide lists of  eligibles;
  provided, however, that the state civil service department may, wherever
  practicable,  certify  from an appropriate eligible list for appointment
  to a state position, in any locality outside Albany county, residents of
  the county or judicial district  including  such  locality,  or  of  any
  combination  of  counties or judicial districts including such locality,
  as determined by such department. Notice of the  proposed  certification
  of  eligibles  by  local  residence in accordance with the provisions of
  this subdivision shall be included in the announcement  of  examination.
  Upon  the  exhaustion  of  the  list  of  local residents certified to a
  position in the state service in a particular locality pursuant  to  the
  provisions  of  this subdivision, the state-wide list of eligibles shall
  be certified to fill vacancies in such position in such locality.
2023 New York Laws › CVS - Civil Service › Article 4 - Recruitment of Personnel › Title B - Appointment and Promotion › 61 - Appointment and Promotion.

§ 61. Appointment  and  promotion. 1. Appointment  or  promotion  from
  eligible lists. Appointment or promotion from  an  eligible  list  to  a
  position  in the competitive class shall be made by the selection of one
  of  the  three  persons  certified  by  the  appropriate  civil  service
  commission  as standing highest on such eligible list who are willing to
  accept such appointment or promotion; provided, however, that the  state
  or  a  municipal  commission  may  provide,  by  rule,  that where it is
  necessary  to  break  ties  among  eligibles  having  the   same   final
  examination  ratings in order to determine their respective standings on
  the eligible list, appointment or promotion may be made by the selection
  of any eligible whose final examination rating is  equal  to  or  higher
  than the final examination rating of the third highest standing eligible
  willing  to  accept  such  appointment  or  promotion.  Appointments and
  promotions shall be made from the eligible list most nearly  appropriate
  for the position to be filled.
2.   Prohibition   against  out-of-title  work.  No  person  shall  be
  appointed, promoted or employed under any title not appropriate  to  the
  duties  to  be performed and, except upon assignment by proper authority
  during the continuance of a temporary  emergency  situation,  no  person
  shall  be  assigned  to perform the duties of any position unless he has
  been  duly  appointed,  promoted,  transferred  or  reinstated  to  such
  position in accordance with the provisions of this chapter and the rules
  prescribed  thereunder.  No  credit  shall  be  granted  in  a promotion
  examination for out-of-title work.
3. Notification to eligible candidates. Persons on  an  eligible  list
  who  are  certified  pursuant  to  section sixty of this chapter and are
  considered and not selected for appointment  or  promotion  pursuant  to
  this section shall, whenever another candidate is appointed or promoted,
  be  given  or  sent  written  notice by the appointing authority of such
  non-selection. In a city containing more than one county, persons on  an
  eligible list who are made ineligible for further certification pursuant
  to a rule of the appropriate municipal commission shall be given or sent
  written notice of such ineligibility. Sending written notice by ordinary
  mail  to the last address of record shall be adequate to comply with the
  requirements of this subdivision.
2023 New York Laws › CVS - Civil Service › Article 4 - Recruitment of Personnel › Title B - Appointment and Promotion › 63 - Probationary Term.

§ 63. Probationary  term.  1. Every original appointment to a position
  in the competitive class and every interdepartmental  promotion  from  a
  position in one department or agency to a position in another department
  or agency shall be for a probationary term; provided, however, that upon
  interdepartmental   promotion  the  appointing  officer  may  waive  the
  requirement of satisfactory completion of  the  probationary  term.  The
  state  civil  service commission and municipal civil service commissions
  may provide, by rule, for probationary  service  upon  intradepartmental
  promotion  to positions in the competitive class and upon appointment to
  positions in the exempt, non-competitive or labor classes.
When probationary service is required  upon  promotion,  the  position
  formerly held by the person promoted shall be held open and shall not be
  filled,   except  on  a  temporary  basis,  pending  completion  of  his
  probationary term.
Notwithstanding the  foregoing  or  any  other  law  or  rule  to  the
  contrary, when a permanent appointment or promotion to a position in the
  competitive  class  is  conditioned  upon  the  completion  of a term of
  training service or of a period  of  service  in  a  designated  trainee
  title,  such  service  and  the  probationary  term for such competitive
  position shall run concurrently.
Notwithstanding the foregoing or any law or rule to the contrary,  any
  person  appointed provisionally in accordance with section sixty-five of
  this title who receives  a  permanent  appointment  to  the  same  title
  immediately  following  the  provisional appointment shall have all time
  spent as a provisional appointment credited  to  any  probationary  term
  that is required upon permanent appointment to a position.
2. The  state  civil  service  commission  and municipal civil service
  commissions shall, subject to the provisions of this section, provide by
  rule for the conditions and extent of probationary service.
2023 New York Laws › CVS - Civil Service › Article 5 - Personnel Changes › Title A - Transfers: Reinstatements › 71 - Reinstatement After Separation for Disability.

§ 71. Reinstatement after separation for disability. Where an employee
  has  been separated from the service by reason of a disability resulting
  from  occupational  injury  or  disease  as  defined  in  the  workmen's
  compensation  law, he or she shall be entitled to a leave of absence for
  at least one year, unless his or her disability is of such a  nature  as
  to permanently incapacitate him or her for the performance of the duties
  of his or her position. Notwithstanding the foregoing, where an employee
  has  been separated from the service by reason of a disability resulting
  from an assault sustained in the course of his or her employment, he  or
  she  shall  be  entitled  to  a leave of absence for at least two years,
  unless his or her disability is of  such  a  nature  as  to  permanently
  incapacitate  him or her for the performance of the duties of his or her
  position. Such employee may, within one year after  the  termination  of
  such  disability,  make  application  to the civil service department or
  municipal commission having jurisdiction over the position last held  by
  such  employee  for  a  medical examination to be conducted by a medical
  officer selected for that purpose by such department or commission.  If,
  upon  such  medical examination, such medical officer shall certify that
  such person is physically and mentally fit to perform the duties of  his
  or  her  former  position,  he  or she shall be reinstated to his or her
  former position, if vacant, or to a vacancy in a similar position  or  a
  position in a lower grade in the same occupational field, or to a vacant
  position  for  which  he  or  she  was  eligible  for  transfer.  If  no
  appropriate vacancy shall exist to which reinstatement may be  made,  or
  if  the work load does not warrant the filling of such vacancy, the name
  of such person shall be placed upon a preferred  list  for  his  or  her
  former  position, and he or she shall be eligible for reinstatement from
  such preferred list for a period of four years. In the event  that  such
  person  is reinstated to a position in a grade lower than that of his or
  her former position, his or her name shall be placed  on  the  preferred
  eligible  list  for  his or her former position or any similar position.
  This section shall not be  deemed  to  modify  or  supersede  any  other
  provisions  of  law  applicable  to the re-employment of persons retired
  from the public service on account of disability.
2023 New York Laws › CVS - Civil Service › Article 5 - Personnel Changes › Title A - Transfers: Reinstatements › 73 - Separation for Ordinary Disability; Reinstatement.

§ 73. Separation  for  ordinary  disability;  reinstatement.  When  an
  employee has been continuously absent from and  unable  to  perform  the
  duties  of  his position for one year or more by reason of a disability,
  other than a disability resulting from occupational injury or disease as
  defined in the workmen's compensation law, his employment status may  be
  terminated  and  his  position may be filled by a permanent appointment.
  Such employee may,  within  one  year  after  the  termination  of  such
  disability,   make  application  to  the  civil  service  department  or
  municipal commission having jurisdiction over the position last held  by
  such  employee  for  a  medical examination to be conducted by a medical

  complaint  the  commission  may  require a police officer to exhaust all
  remedies available to such employee pursuant  to  the  provisions  of  a
  collective  bargaining  agreement  and  the rules and regulations of the
  employer.  Upon the filing of such complaint or upon its own  initiative
  the  commission  having jurisdiction may investigate and upon finding an
  improper transfer or other penalty in violation of such section, enforce
  the provisions of such section. The commission may exercise  any  powers
  heretofore  granted  to  it by provision of this chapter or by any other
  provision of law necessary for the  enforcement  of  the  provisions  of

  state civil service department with the  employee  information  required
  pursuant  to  section  eighty-one-a  of  this  article  for  purposes of

  department  with  a  statement  showing  such  employee's name, title or
  position, date of appointment, and the anticipated date  of  and  reason
  for suspension or demotion. Upon receiving such information, it shall be
  the  duty of the department forthwith to place the name of such employee
  upon a placement roster for filling vacancies in the same  title  or  in
  any  comparable  position  as  determined by the department, except that
  employees suspended or demoted from positions in the noncompetitive  and
  labor  classes may not be certified to fill vacancies in the competitive
  class. Such placement roster shall be certified for filling a vacancy in
  any such position before certification is  made  from  any  other  list,
  including  a  promotion eligible list, but not prior to a preferred list
  or a reemployment roster. Eligibility for  appointment  of  an  employee
  whose  name appears on any such placement roster shall terminate at such

  suspension or demotion, the department shall  place  the  name  of  such
  employee   upon   a   preferred  list,  and  a  reemployment  roster  as
  appropriate, in accordance with the provisions  of  sections  eighty-one

  promulgated  by  the  commission  pursuant to subdivision two of section
  sixty-three of this chapter.

  The  commission  shall  adopt  rules providing for the relinquishment of
  eligibility for appointment upon appointment or upon failure or  refusal
  to accept appointment from a placement roster.
5.  Notwithstanding  any other provision of this chapter, any employee
  may voluntarily remove his or  her  name  from  a  placement  roster  by
  application to the department.
