Summary: S. 7376 (Substituted by A.6609A)

A local/private bill introduced in the New York State Senate on April 11, 2025, identified as S. 7376 and sponsored by Senator Samra Brouk, seeks to authorize a specific individual connected to the East Rochester Police Department to participate in the civil service examination process. The bill has been substituted by the Assembly version A.6609A and is related to companion Assembly Bill A.6609.

Purpose of the Bill

  • To authorize Karol Hughes, a part-time police officer with the Town/Village of East Rochester Police Department, to take the civil service examination. The measure focuses on enabling her eligibility to participate in the civil service process, potentially for appointment to a civil service list related to police department staffing.

Key Provisions

  • The bill would grant permission for Karol Hughes to sit for the civil service examination, overriding or clarifying eligibility constraints that would otherwise prevent her from taking the exam.
  • The measure is a targeted, local act affecting a single named individual and a specific municipality’s police department.

Who/What Would Be Affected

  • Affected Individual: Karol Hughes (part-time East Rochester police officer).
  • Affected Entity: Town/Village of East Rochester Police Department (and its civil service eligibility framework). This is a targeted local action rather than a broad statutory change.

Procedural History and Timeline

  • Introduced: April 11, 2025.
  • Amendments/Process: The bill underwent internal committee action, amendments, and was re-reported (e.g., May 8 amendments and reconciling actions).
  • Reporting: 1st and 2nd floor actions recorded (May 27–28, 2025) with designation of 1st and 2nd reports.
  • Advancements: Advanced to third reading (May 29, 2025).
  • Current Status: Substituted by A.6609A (Assembly companion), as of June 11, 2025. The Senate bill’s language has been replaced by the Assembly version in practice, indicating the bill’s substantive content is being carried forward in the companion form.

Relationship to Companion/Related Legislation

  • Related Bill: A6609 (companion bill in the Assembly). The Senate version S.7376 has been substituted by A.6609A, reflecting parallel action across both houses and typically signifying that the final language will be enacted through the companion Assembly measure (A.6609A).

Additional Notes

  • Sponsor: Senator Samra Brouk (primary).
  • This is a localized/private act; it does not establish a general rule or broad policy change but provides a targeted eligibility modification for a named individual.
  • As the substitution by A6609A is in effect, the ultimate legislative text and effect will be contained in the Assembly’s final form of A.6609A.
