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 allows members or officers of the state police who previously worked as firefighters to count that prior firefighter service towards their retirement benefits. This means that time spent as a firefighter for any county, city, town, village, or fire district will now be fully credited for retirement purposes for these state police members who are also part of the New York State and Local Police and Fire Retirement System. The bill takes effect immediately and is estimated to have an immediate past service cost of $2.32 million for the State of New York, with a marginal increase in annual contributions thereafter.
