A 9531 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Authorizes the county of Clinton, to employ retired former members of the division of state police as special patrol officers

This bill (A 9531) allows Clinton County to hire retired state police officers as special patrol officers without requiring them to take civil service exams or meet other standard hiring rules. It directly affects Clinton County (by expanding its hiring options) and retired state police members (who may now be employed under this specific exception). The key provision amends civil service law to permit this exception for Clinton County alone, bypassing typical employment requirements for these roles. The bill is procedural and does not change broader state employment policies.
