Bill Summary

AN ACT to amend the retirement and social security law, in relation to certain disabilities of university police officers appointed by the state university of New York

AI Summary

This bill amends the Retirement and Social Security Law to include State University of New York (SUNY) police officers within the definition of "firefighter" and "police officer" for the purposes of the presumption regarding impairment caused by heart disease. This allows SUNY police officers to benefit from the presumption that certain heart conditions are job-related, which can impact their disability benefits and retirement eligibility. The bill ensures that the amendments do not affect any existing temporary rights, privileges, or benefits conferred to members of public retirement systems or pension plans, and takes effect immediately.
