Allows reservists with twenty years service to be eligible for 2.5 points on entrance exams and 1 point on promotional exams

Bill A 3155 would allow New York State reservists with 20 years of honorable military service to earn 2.5 additional points on civil service entrance exams for new positions and 1 additional point on promotional exams for career advancement. To qualify, reservists must be U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents living in New York at the time of application. The extra points are added to exam scores when eligibility lists are created, but applicants must provide proof of service through documentation. This bill directly affects reservists seeking state or local government civil service jobs in New York.
