Title of bill
An act in relation to authorizing James Mallan to apply for an increase in his disability pension
Purpose
To allow James Mallan to have his retirement benefits calculated based on his final average salary at the time of his application for disability retirement benefits on February 28, 2008.
Summary of provisions

Justification
James Mallan commenced employment with the New York State Department of Correctional Services on May 30, 1988. Through no negligence of his own he was disabled while completing training at the Correctional Services Training Academy on June 29, 1988.

Each time his service ended because of injuries. This bill would allow his retirement benefits to be calculated based on his final average salary at the time of his application for disability retirement benefits on February 28, 2008, if he shall file an application therefor with the state comptroller on or before December 31, 2013.
