Relates to hiring and promoting employees on a permanent basis at municipal and/or authority owned or operated airports

This bill allows New York's municipal and authority-owned airports to hire permanent staff for critical airport management roles without relying on standard civil service lists. It specifically covers positions like airport director, manager, aviation security chief, and operations supervisor (for safety compliance), when no qualified candidates are available through regular hiring processes. The rule applies only to these designated roles, requires appointees to be qualified, and prohibits temporary assignments outside these specific positions. It modifies civil service rules to address staffing gaps in essential airport operations.
