N.Y. General Municipal Law § 685: Filing of grievance procedure

§ 685. Filing of grievance procedure. Each government shall file with

the clerk thereof and with the state civil service commission, on or

before November first, nineteen hundred sixty-three, a copy of the

grievance procedure established by such government; all subsequent

amendments or revisions thereof shall also be filed with the clerk and

the state civil service commission within fifteen days after adoption.

All procedures so filed shall be open to public inspection. Neither the

failure of the government to file a copy of the grievance procedure or

any subsequent amendments nor the failure to do so timely shall affect

the validity of such grievance procedure or any amendments thereto.
