A 6349 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Prohibits a person convicted of rebellion or insurrection from state or municipal employment

This bill prohibits individuals convicted under federal law of rebellion or insurrection (specifically 18 U.S.C. § 2386) from working in state or municipal government jobs. It amends New York's civil service law by adding a new disqualification clause (subdivision 1(d)) to bar such individuals from employment. The law directly affects applicants and current employees with federal convictions for advocating or participating in efforts to overthrow government by force. This creates a clear, objective employment restriction based on specific federal criminal convictions.
