BILL NUMBER:A9985
Title of bill
An act to amend the retirement and social security law, in relation to providing accidental disability retirement benefits for chief fire marshals, assistant fire marshals, division supervising fire marshals, supervising fire marshals, fire marshals and fire marshal trainees
Purpose
Provides for an accidental disability retirement for fire marshals.
Summary of provisions
This bill a new section, section 605-d, to the retirement and social security law to provide an accidental disability retirement to Nassau County Fire Marshals.
Justification
The purpose of this bill is to ensure that fire marshals in Nassau County are covered by an accidental disability if they are injured in the line of duty. From time to time, Nassau County fire marshals are called to assist local law enforcement to work in concert with them to perform their duties in high crime or chronic establish- ments that are a blight to our communities. Being exposed to such hazardous situations lends credit to the legislation and would provide parity amongst the first responder ranks.
