New York S04389 amends color vision requirements for police officer appointments to exclude only those with extreme color vision deficiencies.

New York S04389 amends the executive law to ensure that color vision requirements for police officer appointments exclude only individuals with extreme color vision deficiencies. The bill defines "extreme color vision deficiencies" as extreme anomalous trichromatism or monochromacy, determined through approved testing. It also provides a method for individuals who fail an initial color vision standard to demonstrate their ability to correctly discriminate colors via a field test approved by the council and conducted by the county, city, town, village, or police district.
