Removes the authority of the state civil service commission to administer the county service in Westchester
This bill transfers administrative control of Westchester County's civil service from the state Civil Service Commission to a local personnel officer. Under the new rules, the local officer would handle most hiring and staffing decisions, while the state commission retains limited powers such as defining job categories, evaluating applicant merit, and certifying lists of eligible candidates. The legislation also requires the county to establish its own pay scales and classification system based on job duties and responsibilities. Additionally, the bill mandates that all new employees for the county must be residents of Westchester County unless the county executive provides a specific written exception.
