A 8093: Establishes maximum age requirements for New York city correction officers; provides that the commissioner of correction shall not appoint a person as a correction officer if such person is more than thirty-five years of age as of the date of the applicant's appointment or eligibility to compete in a promotion examination.
What A 8093 does, verified January 8, 2026
The bill proposes to amend the Administrative Code of the City of New York to establish maximum age requirements for New York City correctional officers. The age requirements would be as follows: a person must be at least 21 years old as of the date of appointment and no more than 35 years old as of the date of appointment or eligibility to compete in a promotion examination. This change aims to ensure that correctional officers are physically and mentally capable of performing their duties effectively. The bill also clarifies that the existing authority of the mayor and commissioner to appoint non-uniformed persons with overall security duties remains unaffected. The proposed changes would take effect 30 days after the bill becomes a law.
