Bill
A 2733
Authorizes NY Civil Service to reinstate Daniel Montalto on the eligible list for Shawangunk police officer, a targeted, no-fund action affecting one person in a specific locality.
Purpose and intent
- The bill authorizes the commissioner of the New York State Department of Civil Service to reinstate Daniel Montalto on the eligible civil service list for employment as a police officer in the Town of Shawangunk. In practical terms, this would place Montalto back onto the roster of qualified candidates eligible for appointment as a police officer with that municipality.
Key provisions
- Primary provision: authorize the civil service commissioner to reinstate Daniel Montalto on the eligible civil service list for the Shawangunk police officer position.
- The bill does not instruct or fund hiring beyond reinstating the individual on the eligible list, nor does it modify salary, benefits, or general eligibility criteria for other candidates.
- The measure is targeted to a specific person and a specific locality, rather than creating a broad policy change.
Status and procedural posture
- Introduced: January 22, 2025.
- Referred to: Governmental Employees Committee (January 22, 2025).
- Latest actions (as of the provided record): June 2, 2025 — amendments filed and the bill is re-referred (amendments noted as “AMEND (T) AND RECOMMIT TO GOVERNMENTAL EMPLOYEES”); the measure is labeled Print Number 2733A, indicating an amended version.

Related legislative context

- As a targeted, individual reinstatement bill, it operates as a special act rather than a general statutory reform.
Who is affected
- Daniel Montalto would be reinstated on the eligible civil service list for the Town of Shawangunk police officer position.
- The Town of Shawangunk Police Department and the New York Department of Civil Service would be the administrative entities implementing or administering the reinstatement if enacted.
- Other candidates on the eligible list are not directly affected, aside from potential changes to the list’s composition if reinstatement alters the ranking.
Potential impact and considerations
- The bill would resolve a discrete personnel eligibility matter for one individual in a specific locality.
- It avoids broad policy shifts but may be perceived as a targeted personnel decision affecting civil service eligibility.
- Enactment would typically require no new funding and would rely on existing civil service processes.
Notes
- No fiscal impact, salary changes, or general eligibility reforms are indicated in the available summary.
