Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the retirement and social security law, in relation to authorizing members or officers of the state police who were previously firefighters to count such firefighter service towards such member's or officer's retirement plan
AI Summary
This bill amends the Retirement and Social Security Law to allow members or officers of the state police who were previously firefighters to count their prior firefighter service towards their retirement plan. Specifically, it adds a provision that grants full credit and allowance for service previously rendered as a firefighter for any county, city, town, village, or fire district, provided the individual was a member of the New York state and local police and fire retirement system. This change aims to recognize the valuable experience of individuals who transition from firefighting to state police service, ensuring their past contributions are acknowledged in their retirement calculations.
