Authorizes Jonathan Montalvo to be placed on the eligible list for employment as a university police officer
This bill authorizes Jonathan Montalvo to be placed on the eligible list for employment as a full-time university police officer with the State University of New York (SUNY) Police, bypassing standard civil service law requirements like age limits. It specifically waives provisions of New York's civil service law that would otherwise prevent his inclusion on the eligible list, contingent on Montalvo scoring sufficiently on the required civil service examination. The bill does not guarantee employment but ensures Montalvo meets the eligibility criteria for consideration, subject to all other merit-based hiring standards. This is a targeted exception for one individual, not a broad policy change.
