BILL NUMBER:S8328
Title of bill
An act to amend the retirement and social security law, in relation to retirement of court reporters employed by the unified court system
Purpose
Permits Court reporters employed by the Unified Court System to retire after twenty-five years without reduction of benefits.
Justification
The court reporters of the Unified Court System are involved in daily contact with dangerous criminals. As such, they are forced to deal with a very stressful and tension-filled environment. In light of the dangerous employment that these reporters are involved in, it is a just reward to allow them to retire after twenty-five years of dedicated service.
