BILL NUMBER:S7636A
Title of bill
An act to amend the general municipal law, in relation to optional disability coverage for court officers in the eighth judicial district
Purpose or general idea of bill
To provide disability coverage to court officers for injuries or sickness resulting from the performance of their duties.
Summary of specific provisions
The bill amends section 207-c of the general municipal law to include court officers employed by the eighth judicial district in the list of employees eligible to receive disability coverage for injuries or sickness in the performance of their duties.
Justification
The state of New York provides for disability coverage to a wide range of state and local government employees, including sheriffs, corrections officers, police officers, fire inspectors, and others, for job-related injuries and sickness. The general municipal law arbitrarily excludes court officers, who face similar risks of injury and sickness on the job. This bill addresses this inequity by including court officers in the eighth judicial district.
