Removes the authority of the state civil service commission to administer the county service in Westchester

This bill modifies the civil service rules for Westchester County by transferring administrative authority from the state civil service commission to a local personnel officer. Under the new provisions, the county would handle most hiring, firing, and promotion decisions, while the state commission would retain specific powers such as classifying job types, evaluating applicant merit, and certifying lists of eligible candidates. The legislation also requires the county to establish its own pay schedules and personnel procedures to ensure equal pay for equal work. Additionally, the bill mandates that any changes to appointment or separation procedures must be approved by the state commission before they take effect.
