Increases the age of eligibility for police officers from thirty-five to forty.

This bill amends the Civil Service Law to increase the maximum age for appointment as a police officer from thirty-five to forty years. This change applies to police officers in the Department of Environmental Conservation and other police forces or departments. The bill also specifies exceptions, such as for police officers on eligible lists finalized before May 30, 1999, or those in the Buffalo Police Department. If enacted, the bill would expand the pool of eligible police officers for the New York State and Local Police and Fire Retirement System.
