A 7299: Prohibits discrimination in promotion of police officers who fail to meet their employer's ticket quotas

This bill prohibits police departments from denying promotions to officers who miss traffic ticket quotas. It directly affects police officers whose promotion opportunities could be unfairly blocked due to unmet quota targets. The key provision explicitly states that denying a promotion "solely because" an officer failed to meet a ticket quota constitutes employment discrimination under labor law. The law amends New York's Labor Law to make this practice illegal, requiring departments to evaluate officers based on merit rather than quota compliance. The bill became effective immediately upon enactment.
