BILL NUMBER:S4836 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the retirement and social security law, in relation to forfeiture of pension rights or retirement benefits upon conviction of a felony related to public employment SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section One of the bill amends the retirement and social security law to state that any state officer or local officer who accepts compensation from the state in the form of reimbursement for per diem expenses, in whole or in part, and is convicted in any federal or state court of competent jurisdiction of a felony related to public office, shall be subject to forfeiture of rights and privileges under a public retirement system or pension plan. EXISTING LAW: New law JUSTIFICATION: Among other provisions, the Public Integrity Reform Act of 2011 (Chapter 399 of the laws of 2011) requires the reduction or forfeiture of a public officer's pension under certain circumstances where he or she has been convicted of a felony related to his office; however, it only applies to officials who joined the pension system after 2011, exempting every legislator in office at the time of the act's enactment.
