Expands the definition of public employee to include members of the organized militia of the state.

This bill amends the civil service law to redefine "public employee" to include individuals holding positions by appointment or employment in the organized militia of the state. This change aims to ensure that members of the state militia are recognized as public employees, potentially affecting their rights and benefits under civil service laws. The bill excludes judges and justices of the unified court system, as well as managerial or confidential employees designated by the public employer. The changes will take effect immediately upon enactment.
