MINOR
This bill was amended to clarify that the Syracuse Regional Airport Authority (rather than just the airport) is the subject of the legislation. The amendment also modified how certain employee positions are classified under civil service rules, explicitly excluding police positions from the exempt class while keeping other management and technical roles exempt.
Scope change
The bill's scope was narrowed from referring to 'the Syracuse regional airport' to 'the Syracuse regional airport authority', clarifying the legal entity being regulated.
SCOPE
Changed the subject from 'the Syracuse regional airport' to 'the Syracuse regional airport authority' to specify the correct legal entity.
ELIGIBILITY
Modified civil service classification rules for airport employees, removing the requirement that positions ensuring federal compliance must be exempt, and instead creating an exception that excludes only police positions from the exempt class.
