                     Section 1. Section 15-110 of the administrative code of the city of New York is amended to read as follows:

                     §15-110 Promotions. Promotions of officers and members of the force and officers and members of the department who serve in emergency medical service positions, shall be made by the commissioner on the basis of seniority, meritorious service in the department and superior capacity as shown by competitive examination. Individual acts of personal bravery may be treated as an element of meritorious service in such examination, the relative rating therefor to be fixed by the commissioner of citywide administrative services. The fire commissioner shall transmit to the commissioner of citywide administrative services in advance of such examination the complete record of each candidate for promotion.

If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or other portion of this local law is for any reason declared unconstitutional or invalid, in whole or in part, by any court of competent jurisdiction, such portion shall be deemed severable, and such unconstitutionality or invalidity shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this local law, which remaining portions shall continue in full force and effect.

                     §3. This local law shall take effect immediately.
