BILL NUMBER:S3758A
Title of bill
An act to amend the retirement and social security law, in relation to providing equal retirement benefits for persons who have been appointed to the title of superintendent in the department of corrections and community supervision
Purpose
To provide equal retirement benefits for all who have been appointed the title of superintendent in the department of corrections and community supervision.
Summary of provisions
Section 149 of the retirement and social security law shall be amended to allow a person who has served at least twenty five years for the department of corrections and community supervision to elect the preferred retirement plan within ninety days of his or her appointment, or in the case of retired workers, within ninety days of the enactment of a subdivision to this law.
Justification
Tier 3, Article 14 CO members promoted through the ranks to Superintendent earn a retirement benefit of 50% after 25 years of service. Others in the department that did not promote through the ranks but are Tier 3, Article 14 members earn 60% plus an additional 1.5% each year beyond 30. This bill would allow the preferred benefits that Article 14 members earn without promotion for Article 14 CO members that rise up through the ranks. This would provide all superintendents in the department the opportunity to earn equal retirement benefits for doing the same work regardless of the career path taken.
