MINOR
The bill was amended to strengthen the evidentiary hearing process for municipal employees by overriding any conflicting local laws or charters. This ensures that the hearing procedure remains a mandatory negotiable term under the civil service law regardless of local rules.
Scope change
The bill now explicitly overrides local laws, ordinances, resolutions, or charter provisions that might conflict with the evidentiary hearing requirements.
REQUIREMENT
Added language stating that the evidentiary hearing process applies regardless of any local law, ordinance, resolution, or charter provision to the contrary.
Removed the requirement that the hearing process be deemed a mandatorily negotiable term under Article 14 of the Civil Service Law, as this is now covered by the new overriding language.
