BILL NUMBER:S3033
Title of bill

Purpose or general idea of bill
To allow individuals who were injured during certain military conflict to be eligible for the full three years of service credit available from chapter 548 of the Laws of 2000.
Summary of specific provisions
Amends Section 1000 of the retirement and social security law to allow individuals who were injured during certain military conflict to be eligible for the full three years of service credit available from chapter 548 of the Laws of 2000.

Currently individuals who were injured in defense of the Country are not necessarily eligible for the full three year retirement credit if they were honorably discharged early. This legislation takes away that inequity by allowing them to receive the full three years of retirement credit.
