Relates to the creation of an annual report on the race and ethnic data of individuals who have taken a civil service examination
This bill requires New York's civil service commission to collect and report annual data on the race and ethnicity of every person taking a state civil service exam. Starting in 2025, the commission must publish a public report by November 30th each year, detailing this data based on the previous state fiscal year. The report will be delivered to the governor, legislature, and posted online. It directly affects all state civil service exam applicants and ensures transparency in the demographic makeup of the civil service hiring pool.
