       AN ACT to amend the civil service law, in relation to the application of
         veteran's credits to civil service examinations
         THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
       BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
    1    Section  1.   Subdivision 3 of section 85 of the civil service law, as
    2  added by chapter 790 of the laws of 1958, is amended to read as follows:
    3    3. Application for additional credit; proof of eligibility; establish-
    4  ment of eligible list. Any candidate, believing himself OR HERSELF enti-
    5  tled to additional credit  in  a  competitive  examination  as  provided
    6  [herein] IN THIS SECTION, may make application for such additional cred-
    7  it  at  any time between the date of his OR HER application for examina-
    8  tion and the date of the establishment of the resulting  eligible  list.
    9  Such  candidates  shall  be allowed a period of not less than two months
   10  from the date of the filing of his OR HER application for examination in
   11  which to establish by appropriate documentary proof his OR HER eligibil-
   12  ity to receive additional credit under this section. At any  time  after
   13  two months have elapsed since the final date for filing applications for
   14  a  competitive  examination  for  original appointment or promotion, the
   15  eligible list  resulting  from  such  examination  may  be  established,
   16  notwithstanding  the  fact  that  a  veteran or disabled veteran who has
   17  applied for additional credit has failed to establish his OR HER  eligi-
   18  bility  to  receive  such  additional  credit.  A candidate who fails to
   19  establish, by appropriate documentary proof, his OR HER  eligibility  to
   20  receive  additional  credit  by the time an eligible list is established
   21  shall not thereafter be granted additional credit on such eligible list.
   22  NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, BELATED  APPLICATION  FOR  AN  ADDITIONAL
   23  CREDIT  AS A VETERAN OR DISABLED VETERAN MAY BE MADE BY AN APPLICANT WHO
        EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                             [ ] is old law to be omitted.
                                                                  LBD01880-01-1

    2  PLACEMENT HAS BEEN ORDERED TO ACTIVE MILITARY DUTY, OTHER THAN TRAINING,
    3  TO  A  COMBAT  THEATER  OR COMBAT ZONE OF OPERATIONS THAT QUALIFIES SUCH
    4  APPLICANT  FOR  THE  ADDITIONAL  CREDIT AS A VETERAN OR DISABLED VETERAN
    5  PROVIDED SUCH LIST HAS NOT EXPIRED AND PROVIDED FURTHER THAT THE  APPLI-
    6  CANT  MAKES SUCH APPLICATION WITHIN TWO MONTHS AFTER RECEIVING AN HONOR-
    7  ABLE DISCHARGE OR BEING RELEASED UNDER HONORABLE CIRCUMSTANCES.
    8    S 2. This act shall take effect immediately and shall apply to  eligi-
    9  ble civil service lists in effect as of January 1, 2012.
