Allows municipal commissions to use alternate lists for filling police department vacancies with minority group members and women to achieve.

This bill amends the civil service law to allow municipal commissions to use alternate lists for filling vacancies in police departments with resident and non-resident minority group members and women. This is to achieve diversity in police departments where the current ethnic, racial, or women composition deviates from the community by more than 25%. The alternate lists can include those from surrounding municipalities. Police departments must hire from these alternate lists until the department's composition aligns more closely with the community.
