Legislature Sends Police Eligibility Bills to Governor

The New York State Legislature has delivered a series of individual-specific bills to the Governor that authorize specific candidates to take competitive civil service examinations or rejoin eligibility lists for local police departments. These measures represent targeted legislative adjustments to standard civil service procedures for named individuals.[1][2][3][4][5]

Candidates Named for Local Police Roles

Under bill A10293, Michael O'Brien would be authorized to take the competitive civil service examination for a police officer position in the village of Le Roy. Another measure, bill A2733, authorizes the commissioner of the department of civil service to reinstate Daniel Montalto to the eligible civil service list for employment as a police officer in the town of Shawangunk.[6][7]

Other bills target candidates in different municipalities. Bill A6148 authorizes Christopher Walser and Matthew Patire to take the competitive civil service examination for the Skaneateles police department. Bill S9458 grants Steven Kobie Jackson eligibility for the Woodstock police department exam, and bill S9250 authorizes Janay Gasparini to take the exam for a full-time police officer position in New Paltz.[8][9][10][11]

Legislative Path and Next Steps

These bills passed both chambers of the legislature earlier in the year before being delivered to the Governor on September 22, 2026. For example, S9250 passed the Senate on June 3, 2026, and the Assembly on June 4, 2026.[12][13][5]

The final decision now rests with the Governor, who must choose whether to sign or veto each individual measure.[1][2][3][4][5]
