Relates to retaliation against other jurisdictions which discriminate against hiring New York state residents
This bill amends New York's civil service law to prohibit state and local public employers from hiring individuals whose primary residence is in a state that bans the employment of out-of-state residents. The New York Civil Service Commission will create and update an annual list of these "discriminatory jurisdictions," which employers must use to screen candidates, though new hires have one year to move their residence to comply. The law includes exemptions for current employees who were hired before the list took effect and allows for waivers in cases of undue hardship, such as significant financial or health burdens, subject to a review process by the commission.
