AN ACT to amend the retirement and social security law, in  relation  to
  accidental  disability  retirement  for  uniformed  court officers and
  peace officers employed in the unified court system

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

  Section 1. Subdivision a of section 605-a of the retirement and social
security  law, as amended by chapter 489 of the laws of 2008, is amended
to read as follows:
  a. A member employed as a uniformed court officer or peace officer  in
the  unified  court system shall be entitled to an accidental disability
retirement allowance if, at the time application therefor is filed, such
member is:
  1. Physically or mentally incapacitated for performance of duty as the
natural and proximate result of an accident, not caused by his own will-
ful negligence, sustained in such service and while actually a member of
the retirement system; and
  2. Actually in service upon which his  or  her  membership  is  based.
However,  in  a  case where a member is discontinued from service subse-
quent to the accident, either voluntarily or involuntarily, and provided
that the member meets the requirements of paragraph one of this subdivi-
sion, application may be made either (a) by a  vested  member  incapaci-
tated  as  the  result  of  a qualifying World Trade Center condition as
defined in section two of this chapter at any time,  or  (b)  not  later
than two years after the member is first discontinued from service.
  FOR  PURPOSES  OF  THIS  SUBDIVISION,  A  MEMBER WHO IS INJURED AS THE
RESULT OF A PHYSICAL ASSAULT BY AN ASSAILANT, SUFFERED WHILE IN  SERVICE
SHALL BE ENTITLED TO ACCIDENTAL DISABILITY RETIREMENT UNLESS THE CONTRA-
RY CAN BE PROVEN BY COMPETENT EVIDENCE UNDER THIS SECTION.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
  FISCAL NOTE.--Pursuant to Legislative Law, Section 50:
  This  bill would allow Tier 3, 4, 5 and 6 uniformed court officers and
peace officers in the unified court system to be eligible for  an  acci-

dental  disability for injuries sustained in the performance of duty and
the result of an injury sustained in the  performance  or  discharge  of
duty  by  or  as  the  result  of an assault by an assailant, unless the
contrary  be proven by competent evidence. The benefit for an accidental
disability would be 75% of final average salary  less  worker's  compen-
sation.
  If  this bill is enacted, the cost will vary depending on the members'
age, service, tier and salary. It is  estimated  that  the  average  per
person cost will be approximately three (3) times salary.
  The  exact number of members who could be affected by this legislation
cannot be readily determined. In all likelihood, very few members  would
be affected.
  Summary of relevant resources:
  The  membership  data  used  in  measuring  the impact of the proposed
change was the same as that used in the March 31, 2013  actuarial  valu-
ation.    Distributions  and  other  statistics can be found in the 2013
Report of the  Actuary  and  the  2013  Comprehensive  Annual  Financial
Report.
  The  actuarial assumptions and methods used are described in the 2010,
2011, 2012 and 2013  Annual  Report  to  the  Comptroller  on  Actuarial
Assumptions,  and  the  Codes  Rules and Regulations of the State of New
York: Audit and Control.
  The Market Assets and GASB Disclosures are found in the March 31, 2013
New York State and Local  Retirement  System  Financial  Statements  and
Supplementary Information.
  I am a member of the American Academy of Actuaries and meet the Quali-
fication Standards to render the actuarial opinion contained herein.
  This  estimate,  dated  February  11,  2014  and intended for use only
during the  2014  Legislative  Session,  is  Fiscal  Note  No.  2014-81,
prepared  by  the  Actuary  for  the New York State and Local Employees'
Retirement System.
