MINOR

The bill was amended to simplify the section number and add a new provision allowing Nassau County law enforcement explorers to voluntarily give up their exam credit points if they choose to accept a lower-ranking position. This change adds flexibility for candidates who wish to forgo the preference points to secure a specific job placement.

Scope change

The bill's scope remains focused on Nassau County law enforcement explorers, but the applicability of the credit system now includes an optional waiver mechanism.

TECHNICAL

The section number was changed from 'Article 6-A' to 'Section 85-e' to align with the Civil Service Law's current structure.

REQUIREMENT

A new paragraph was added allowing explorers to elect to relinquish additional credit points before permanent appointment, enabling them to accept a lower position on the eligible list.

ADDED

A new paragraph was added clarifying that the additional credit for serving less than four years is two points.
