NY A10167

Establishes a new civil service law article granting additional examination credits to Nassau County Law Enforcement Explorer program participants in competitive exams for original appointments.

Awards 5 additional points to explorers with 4+ years of service and 2 additional points to those with less than 4 years of service.

Credits are added to final earned ratings after an explorer qualifies the exam and are granted only when the eligible list is established.

Applicants must apply for additional credit between exam application and eligible list establishment, with a minimum 2-month period to provide documentary proof of eligibility.

Restricts additional credits to one-time use; explorers who receive permanent appointments using explorer credits become ineligible for further credits, though exceptions apply if credits did not affect their list position or appointment is terminated during probation.
