Sponsor's memo
Title of bill
An act to amend the military law, in relation to authorizing additional paid leave for certain police and peace officers who are absent on military duty
Purpose
This legislation will expand, from 30 to 45 days, the number of days for which police and peace officers can receive their salary during periods that they are called to active military duty.
Summary of provisions
Section 1 amends § 242 of the Military Law, to provide that every police officer and peace officer employed by New York State shall receive his or her full salary for up to either 45 days or 32 working days, whichever is greater, during those periods that the officer is called to active military duty.
Section 2 establishes an effective date.
Existing law
Current law provides that police and peace officers employed by New York State are paid their salary for up to 30 days of active military duty.
Justification
The call to duty for the ongoing hostilities in Afghanistan and Iraq has been answered in the past few years, in part, by men and women who work as police and peace officers. These men and women not only serve to protect their communities on a daily basis but they also have taken the charge to serve our Nation in the current conflicts in foreign lands.
