Provides that the governmental agency shall notify any person on a special eligible list, in writing, that their name will remain on such list for two years after the termination of military duty and shall be removed at the end of the two year period unless such person requests to remain on such list.

Summary

Bill A02062 amends the military law concerning the status of public employees who are on an eligible list while serving in the military. It ensures that these individuals retain their rights and status on the eligible list during their military duty. Upon their return, if their name is reached for certification, it will be placed on a special eligible list for two years, provided they request this placement. The bill mandates that governmental agencies notify these individuals in writing about their status on the list and the conditions under which their names may be removed after the two-year period.

It modifies the existing provisions of the military law to ensure that military service members are not disadvantaged in their employment opportunities after returning from duty. This change aims to protect the employment rights of veterans and active military personnel, ensuring they have a clear understanding of their status and the necessary steps to maintain it.
