Prohibits a person convicted of rebellion or insurrection from state or municipal employment
S 3691 prohibits individuals convicted under federal law for rebellion or insurrection (specifically 18 U.S.C. § 2383) from holding state or municipal government jobs in New York. The bill amends New York's civil service law to add a new disqualification clause (subdivision 1(d)), directly barring such individuals from public employment. It does not redefine "rebellion or insurrection" but adopts the federal legal standard. The policy change explicitly removes eligibility for state and local government positions for those convicted under this specific federal statute. The bill is currently in committee review, with recent legislative actions including advancement to third reading.
