BILL NUMBER:S4134A
Title of bill
An act to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to terminal leave
Purpose
To provide an incentive for members of the New York Police Department and members of the New York City Fire Department to remain on active duty.
Summary
This bill would add a new section 14-154 and 15-129 to the administra- tive code of the city of New York to allow members of the Police Depart- ment and Fire Department to receive terminal leave payment while contin- uing to serve.
Justification
Retaining veteran police officers, fire fighter and fire officers within the City ranks is a paramount concern to the State and constituencies of the City of New York. The New York City Police and Fire Departments continue to face an unprecedented wave of retirements. A large number of police officers, firefighters and fire officers are quickly approaching 20 years of active service, making them eligible for retirement. Thus, the departments are confronted with a significant loss of its most expe- rienced officers. One way to allow veteran police officers, fire fight- ers and fire officers to continue working is to grant them the option of taking a cash payment in lieu of their terminal leave. This bill will provide an incentive to officers to remain on the job and provide addi- tional months of public protection at no additional cost.
