     3    1-g.  Notwithstanding  the  provisions  of  subdivision  one  of  this
     4  section,  any  of the uniformed force of the department of sanitation or
     5  the department of correction of the city of New York shall be subject to
     6  the following procedure. Where, because  of  economy,  consolidation  or
     7  abolition  of  functions,  curtailment of activities or otherwise, posi-
     8  tions in the competitive class are abolished or reduced in rank or sala-
     9  ry grade, suspension or demotion, as the case may be,  among  incumbents
    10  holding the same or similar positions shall be made in the inverse order
    11  of  original  appointment  on a permanent basis in the grade or title in
    12  the service of the governmental jurisdiction in which such abolition  or
    13  reduction  of positions occurs, subject to the provisions of subdivision
    14  seven of section eighty-five  of  this  chapter.    Notwithstanding  the
    15  provisions of this subdivision, however, upon the abolition or reduction
    16  of  positions, those employees who have not completed their probationary
    17  service shall be suspended or demoted, as the case may  be,  before  any
    18  permanent incumbents, and among such probationary employees the order of
    19  suspension  or  demotion  shall  be determined as if such employees were
    20  permanent incumbents.
    21    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
