BILL NUMBER:S4907
Title of bill
An act to amend the retirement and social security law, in relation to eligibility for retirement benefits for certain members of the unified court system
Purpose
This bill will allow any Tier 6 member who is a uniformed court officer or peace officer employed by the Unified Court System to retire without early age reduction upon attaining 30 years of creditable service and age 55. It will also reduce the normal retirement age from 63 to 62, and lessen the reductions in benefits for those who retire prior to normal retirement age.
Summary of provisions
This bill amends sections 503 and 603 of the retirement and social secu- rity law, allowing uniformed court officers or peace officers employed by the unified court system into the age-55 retirement laws already in place for other, similar employees.
Justification
When changes were made to the Retirement and Social Security Law that allowed employees to retire without early age reduction upon attaining 30 years of service and age 55, court officers and peace officers employed by the unified court system were left out of the legislation. This bill will redress those inequities and provide these vital employ- ees with the same opportunities as their counterparts. As they work in the high-stress environment that is our court system, they deserve the same retirement benefits already afforded to other law enforcement personnel.
