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 SUNY (State University of New York) police officers for the purposes of the "heart presumption" disability provision. This provision assumes that heart disease or impairment in certain public safety personnel, such as firefighters and police officers, is caused by their occupation, making them eligible for disability benefits. The bill expands this presumption to cover SUNY police officers, ensuring they have access to the same occupational disability benefits as other public safety workers. The amendments made by this bill will not affect any existing temporary rights, privileges, or benefits for members of public retirement systems or pension plans funded by the state or its political subdivisions.
