Maddy summaryThis bill amends the Civil Service Law to remove the maximum age limit of 35 for hiring municipal police officers. It allows individuals older than 35 to apply for police positions, provided they meet other merit and fitness requirements. The change also extends the maximum hiring age to 39 for certain situations where eligible lists are exhausted and no other candidates are available. Additionally, the legislation includes specific exceptions for applicants with up to six years of military service and those with prior employment at the Buffalo municipal housing authority. The new rules would take effect approximately 180 days after the bill becomes law.
