AN  ACT  to amend the retirement and social security law, in relation to
  the employment of police officers in the town of Southampton;  and  to
  repeal certain provisions of such law relating thereto

  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. Subdivision m of section 384-d of the retirement and social
security law is REPEALED and a new subdivision m is  added  to  read  as
follows:
  M.  NOTWITHSTANDING  ANY  INCONSISTENT  PROVISION  OF LAW, IF THE TOWN
BOARD OF THE TOWN OF SOUTHAMPTON ELECTS TO MAKE  THE  BENEFITS  OF  THIS
SECTION  AVAILABLE  TO THE MEMBERS OF ITS POLICE DEPARTMENT, EACH MEMBER
OF SUCH DEPARTMENT SHALL BE SEPARATED FROM SERVICE  UPON  COMPLETION  OF
TWENTY  YEARS  OF  SERVICE,  PROVIDED,  HOWEVER, THAT THE TOWN BOARD MAY
PERMIT A MEMBER TO CONTINUE IN SERVICE ON  AN  ANNUAL  BASIS  AFTER  THE
COMPLETION OF TWENTY YEARS OF SERVICE, BUT IN NO EVENT SHALL SUCH ANNUAL
SERVICE  BE  CONTINUED AFTER A MEMBER HAS ATTAINED AGE FIFTY-FIVE UNLESS
SUCH MEMBER HAS NOT ATTAINED TWENTY YEARS OF  SERVICE,  EXCEPT  HOWEVER,
THAT  MEMBERS OF SUCH DEPARTMENT WHO HOLD THE RANK OF SERGEANT OR HIGHER
WITHIN SUCH DEPARTMENT MAY BE PERMITTED BY THE TOWN BOARD TO  REMAIN  IN
SERVICE UNTIL THE MEMBER HAS ATTAINED AGE SIXTY.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
  FISCAL NOTE.--Pursuant to Legislative Law, Section 50:
  This  bill  will amend Subdivision (m) of Section 384-d of the Retire-
ment and Social Security Law  so  as  to  not  force  a  police  officer
employed  by  the  Town  of Southampton to retire after attaining age 55
without 20 years of service.
  If this bill is enacted, there will be no cost.
  This estimate, dated January 7, 2011, and intended for use only during
the 2011 Legislative Session, is Fiscal Note No.  2011-81,  prepared  by
the  Actuary for the New York State and Local Police and Fire Retirement
System.
