New York A11511 creates up to 500 employment slots for first responders with service-related disabilities from the 9/11 attacks.

New York A11511 amends the civil service law to establish a special hiring class for first responders who suffered service-related disabilities due to exposure to toxins in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. The Civil Service Commission can fill up to 500 positions, classified in the noncompetitive class, for those who can prove their disability. These employees will have the same promotional examination opportunities as those in the competitive class. State agencies must identify these positions as "55-d Eligible" when posting job openings.
