Bill > S04426

This bill amends the retirement and social security law to waive earnings limitations for retired sworn law enforcement officers who are employed as investigators by a district attorney's office in any county within New York State. Currently, retired officers are typically subject to restrictions on how much they can earn while simultaneously receiving retirement benefits, but this legislation would create a specific exemption for district attorney investigator positions. The bill effectively allows these retired sworn officers to work as investigators and receive their full retirement pension without being penalized or having their earnings reduced. The change takes effect immediately upon passage, providing greater employment flexibility for retired law enforcement professionals who wish to continue working in a related investigative role within the criminal justice system.
