BILL NUMBER:S5669 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the retirement and social security law, in relation to providing accidental disability retirement benefits for chief fire marshals, assistant fire marshals, division supervising fire marshals, supervising fire marshals, fire marshals and fire marshal trainees in Nassau county SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: This legislation provides for a 3/4 accidental disability retirement for various fire marshal titles within Nassau county who are injured in the line of duty. JUSTIFICATION: Nassau County Fire Marshals provide services countywide, including inspectional duties, Hazmat operations, the investigation of suspicious fires, and the apprehension of arsonists and other criminals. They are armed peace officers in New York State. Though rare, it does happen that Nassau County Fire Marshals are rendered seriously and permanently disabled due to injuries sustained in the line of duty. While such instances occur infrequently, they are nonetheless devastating to the Marshal involved, their spouses, and their children.
