Authorizes Kevin Donohue to take the civil service examination for the position of police officer for the town of Goshen
This bill waives standard civil service exam requirements (including age limits) for Kevin Donohue, a current part-time police officer employed by the town of Goshen. It allows him to take the competitive exam for a full-time police officer position with Goshen's department, bypassing usual eligibility rules under state civil service law. If he passes the exam, he becomes eligible for appointment to the full-time role, though he must still meet merit and fitness standards. The bill applies solely to Donohue and takes effect immediately.
