Introduced  by  Sen.  LARKIN -- read twice and ordered printed, and when
  printed to be committed to the Committee on Civil Service and Pensions

AN ACT to amend the retirement and social security law, in  relation  to
  authorizing  retired firefighters to be employed as instructor of fire
  sciences by a career and technical education center without diminution
  of his or her retirement benefits

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

  Section 1. The retirement and social security law is amended by adding
a new section 214-c to read as follows:
  S  214-C.  EMPLOYMENT OF CERTAIN RETIRED PERSONS WHO RETIRED FROM FIRE
SERVICE.  NOTWITHSTANDING  THE  PROVISIONS  OF  THIS  CHAPTER   OR   THE
PROVISIONS  OF  ANY  STATE  OR  LOCAL LAW OR CHARTER TO THE CONTRARY, NO
RETIRED PERSON WHO RETIRED FROM FIRE SERVICE AS A MEMBER OF THE NEW YORK
STATE AND LOCAL POLICE AND FIRE RETIREMENT SYSTEM OR THE NEW  YORK  FIRE
DEPARTMENT  PENSION  FUND, AND WHO IS EMPLOYED BY A CAREER AND TECHNICAL
EDUCATION CENTER AS AN INSTRUCTOR IN A FIRE SCIENCE PROGRAM APPROVED  BY
THE  EDUCATION DEPARTMENT, SHALL HAVE HIS OR HER RETIREMENT ALLOWANCE OR
BENEFITS SUSPENDED OR REDUCED BECAUSE OF  COMPENSATION  EARNED  BY  SUCH
RETIRED PERSON FROM SERVICE AS A FIRE SCIENCE INSTRUCTOR.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
  FISCAL  NOTE.--This  bill  will  allow retired firefighters of the New
York State and Local Police and Fire Retirement System or the  New  York
City  Fire  Department Pension Fund to work as a fire science instructor
in a program approved by the New York State Department of Education  and
continue to receive their retirement benefit.
  If  this bill is enacted, insofar as it will affect the New York State
and Local Police and Fire Retirement System, we expect few  retirees  to
be affected. There would be negligible additional annual costs.
  This  estimate,  dated March 4, 2011, and intended for use only during
the 2011 Legislative Session, is Fiscal Note No. 2011-129,  prepared  by
the  Actuary for the New York State and Local Police and Fire Retirement
System.
