The bill allowing incarcerated individuals to take the civil service exam became effective in February and implementation is underway, with information sessions and discussions on administering exams ongoing.
- The bill was put into effect in February and involves collaboration with the Department of Corrections and the mayor's office of criminal justice.
- A part of the bill requires the Department of Citywide Administrative Services (DCAS) to conduct Civil Service 101 information sessions for incarcerated individuals.
- The DCAS is actively working to start these information sessions.
- The administration of civil service exams is in the discussion phase, particularly for borrower based jails.

To implement that bell, which requires a part of it requires decast to conduct civil service 101 information sessions to folks that are currently incarcerated and folks that are justice involved.

And so we're working to hit the ground running with doing those civil service 1 on 1 sessions.
