Sponsor's memo
Title of bill
An act to amend the retirement and social security law, in relation to increasing the mandatory retirement age for members of the division of state police
Purpose
Amends Chapter 97 of 2008, changing the mandatory retirement age for State Police officers from 60 years of age to 62 years of age.
Summary of provisions
Section 1 of the bill amends subdivision (e) of 381-b of the Retirement and Social Security Law to change the mandatory retirement age for State Police officers from 60 years of age to 62 years of age.
Justification
Under current law, once a State Police officer attains 60 years of age, he or she is forced to retire at the end of that calendar year, despite the degree of knowledge the officer has and despite his or her physical condition. This legislation will ensure that those officers with the highest degree of law enforcement knowledge and expertise -which can only be obtained through experience - are able to continue in service to the citizens of New York for an additional two years, if the individual officer so chooses.
