BILL NUMBER:S3749A
Title of bill
An act to amend the retirement and social security law, in relation to the limitation for retired police officers employed as school resource officers
Purpose
Removes the earnings limitation for retired police officers while employed as school resource officers or school safety officers or other substantially similar positions
Summary of provisions
Section 1: Subdivision 3 of section 212 of the retirement and social security law is amended to address the employment of retired police officers as school resource officers or school safety officers or other substantially similar positions.
Justification
Retired police officers are well-qualified to protect our students as school resource officers. Currently, retired public employees must apply for a "211 Waiver" in order to earn more than $30,000 per year. This process, can often become burdensome. The cap on earnings can deter those best qualified to protect our children from becoming school resource officers. This bill would allow school districts to hire retired police officers without needing a "211 Waiver."
Legislative history
New bill.
Fiscal implications
This bill would remove earnings limitations for certain employees of a school district, however this is not a mandate for districts to increase salaries.
Effective date
This act shall take effect immediately.
