NY A04624

Removes the maximum age of 35 for taking the civil service examination to become a police officer in New York State

Eliminates the maximum age of 29 (or 35 at superintendent's discretion) for appointment to the New York State Police as a sworn member

Maintains the minimum age requirement of 20 years for police officer appointments and 21 years for State Police appointments

Removes various age-related exceptions and provisions that previously allowed certain candidates to exceed the maximum age limits, as these exceptions become unnecessary with the elimination of maximum age requirements

Allows counties, cities, towns, villages, housing authorities, transit authorities, police districts, and the Department of Environmental Conservation to set more restrictive eligibility requirements, but no longer prohibits them from setting different maximum age requirements
