AI Summary

Levine, a Correction Officer III, who was permanently injured while on duty in 1990. The bill sets Levine's yearly pension at 72% of the rate of compensation he would have received had he continued working, and ensures that the disability allowance maintains parity with Correction Officer III collective bargaining increases. Additionally, the bill provides that upon Levine's death, his surviving spouse Charlene Ann Levine will receive an annuity of three-fourths of the amount of the pension payable to him at the time of his death, as long as she remains unmarried.
