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

  Section  1.  Subdivisions  a,  b  and  paragraph 2 of subdivision d of
section 63-b of the retirement and social  security  law,  as  added  by
chapter 639 of the laws of 1999, are amended to read as follows:
  a.  A  member employed by a county shall be eligible for a performance
of duty disability retirement if the county elects to make the  benefits
provided  herein  available,  as  provided  for in subdivision d of this
section, and such member is a  sheriff,  deputy  sheriff,  undersheriff,
ASSISTANT WARDEN or correction officer.
  b.  Any  sheriff,  deputy  sheriff,  undersheriff, ASSISTANT WARDEN or
correction officer as defined in subdivision  a  of  this  section,  who
becomes  physically  or  mentally  incapacitated  for the performance of
duties as the natural and proximate result of an  injury,  sustained  in
the  performance or discharge of his or her duties by, or as the natural
and proximate result of an act of any inmate or any person  confined  in
an  institution  under  the jurisdiction of such county, shall be paid a
performance of duty disability retirement allowance equal to that  which
is  provided  in  section  sixty-three  of  this  title,  subject to the
provisions of section sixty-four of this title.
  2. The performance of duty disability retirement as defined in  subdi-
visions  b  and  c  of this section shall be available only to sheriffs,
deputy sheriffs, undersheriffs, ASSISTANT WARDENS and  correction  offi-
cers whose employer elects to provide such benefits by adopting a resol-
ution  to such effect and filing a certified copy thereof with the comp-
troller. Such resolution shall be accompanied by the  affidavit  of  the
chief  executive  officer  of the county that the county has received an
estimate from the retirement system of the cost of the benefit  provided
by this section.
