Sponsor's memo
Title of bill
An act to amend the retirement and social security law, in relation to authorizing the commissioner of corrections and community supervision to approve a retired person's employment in a position in the department of corrections and community supervision
Purpose or general idea of bill
To allow retired correction officers to be employed and earn compensation in another position in the public service.
Summary of specific provisions
1. Authorizes the commissioner of corrections and community supervision the authority to allow retired individuals to receive compensation in the public service.
2. Effective date.
Justification
Currently, retired public employees must apply for a "211 Waiver" in order to earn more than $30,000 per year. This process, can often become burdensome. This bill would allow the department of corrections and community supervision to hire individuals without needing a "211 Waiver." Retired corrections officers have the experience to assist the department of corrections and community supervision that new employees do not. The State would benefit from having seasoned professionals contributing their knowledge and experience to better DOCCS and who would otherwise stay retired.
