Bill > A04925

This bill amends the New York Retirement and Social Security Law to waive earning limitations for retired sworn officers who are employed as investigators by a district attorney's office. Currently, retired public employees who return to work are often subject to restrictions on how much they can earn while simultaneously receiving their retirement benefits. This bill specifically removes those earning restrictions for sworn investigators working in district attorneys' offices across New York state. By doing so, the legislation allows retired law enforcement officers to work as investigators for district attorneys without having their retirement income reduced or penalized, potentially helping district attorneys more easily recruit experienced investigators and providing additional career opportunities for retired sworn officers. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage, meaning the new earning limitation exemption will apply as soon as the bill becomes law.
