        AN  ACT to direct the president of the state civil service commission to

          process  would  impact diversity, recruitment and hiring of minorities
          in the public sector
          The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and  Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
     1    Section  1.  The president of the state civil service commission shall
     2  cause a study to be performed to analyze how the use of a career portfo-
     3  lio application process, rather than an exam-only process, would  impact
     4  diversity,  recruitment  and  hiring of minorities in the public sector.
     5  Such study shall consider the account portfolio application  process  in
     6  other states or in other countries and it shall examine how such process
     7  impacts  minority recruitment and hiring. A career portfolio application
     8  shall be defined as a visual representation of a job candidate's  abili-
     9  ties,  skills,  capabilities,  knowledge, qualities, experiences, accom-
    10  plishments, education, interests, professional goals and objectives  and
    11  it represents a candidate's work potential. Such career portfolio appli-
    12  cation is a collection of tangible materials that represent work-related
    13  events and accomplishments in a candidate's life.
    14    § 2. On or before two hundred seventy days after the effective date of
    15  this  act,  the  president  of  the state civil service commission shall
    16  complete the study conducted pursuant to section one  of  this  act  and
    17  shall  thereafter  deliver  a  copy of the findings of the study and any
    18  legislative recommendations he or she  deems  to  be  necessary  to  the
    19  governor,  the  temporary president of the senate and the speaker of the
    20  assembly.
    21    § 3. This act shall take effect immediately.
