TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the civil service law, the retirement and social security law and the criminal procedure law, in relation to transferring the regional state park police to the division of state police; and to repeal certain provisions of the parks, recreation and historic preservation law, relating thereto PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: To merge the State Park Police with the State Police SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: This legislation would amend existing legislation to repeal subdivision 4 of section 9.05 and section 13.17 of the Parks, Recreation and Histor- ic Preservation Law relating to the Regional State Park Police to allow this unit to merge with the Division of State Police. The Superintendent of State Police shall be charged generally with the duty and shall be the power to classify and reclassify all member posi- tions in the Division of State Police subject to the approval of the director of the budget.

Additionally the merger will address the high rate of attrition faced by the State Park Police while eliminating duplication of services and equipment. It will also reduce overtime costs incurred by the State Park Police as a stand-alone unit PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: New Bill FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect immediately.
