                                 BILL NUMBER:  S4050

 TITLE OF BILL :  An act to amend the general municipal law and the
criminal procedure law, in relation to employment of retired police
officers by school districts

 PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL :

Relates to the employment of retired police officers as special
security officers for school districts.

 SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS :

Section 1. Amends the General Municipal Law by adding a new Section
209-vv relating to employment of retired police officers as special
security officers for school districts.

Section 2. Subdivision 1 of Section 209-v of the General Municipal Law
is amended to include special security officers within the provisions
relating to the governing board of any political subdivision's
authorization of any police or law enforcement agency to employ of
specific law enforcement retirees to protect the property or persons
on the premises of such political subdivision.

Section 3. Section 2.10 of the Criminal Procedure Law is amended by
adding a new subdivision 84 to provide that special security officers

employed by a school district pursuant to the provisions of Section
209-vv of the General Municipal Law, when acting pursuant to their
duties on school grounds during school hours and any school sponsored
extracurricular activities on such school grounds, may carry a firearm
only upon the approval of the school district and the appropriate
licensing pursuant to section 400.00 of the penal law.

 JUSTIFICATION :

There is no question that the world we live in has changed
dramatically with the alarming uptick in terrorist activity, mass
shootings and random acts of violence. School districts are being
cognizant of their responsibilities by upgrading and strengthening
safety procedures in an effort to keep students and school staff out
of harm's way.

Many school districts feel it is in the best interest of those they
serve to retain a retired law enforcement member to provide the most
highly skilled and trained security detail. However, the
income-earning restrictions set forth in Section 212 of the Retirement
and Social Security Law which limits the amount a retiree may earn
upon return to public service to $30,000, hinder a school district's
ability to provide the consistent security coverage that a retired law
enforcement officer could offer. While there currently is a waiver
process for a retired public employee to earn more than $30,000 ("211
Waiver"), the strict and narrow guidelines make the process quite
burdensome with no guarantee of approval. As such, school districts
are forced to utilize a candidate that may be well trained, but lacks
the expertise that can only be acquired through many years of hands-on
experience.

This legislation would authorize the trustees or board of education of
any school district, with approval of the State Education Department,
to employ retired former members of police or sheriff's departments,
or the division of state police as special security officers. It sets
forth an authorization process, application submission guidelines,
necessary reporting requirements, and allows a special security
officer to carry a firearm if approved by the school district and has
the appropriate licensing pursuant to section 400.00 of the penal law.
Further, it provides greater flexibility in hiring the best qualified
candidate to protect our schools by granting the trustees or board of
education of a school district the power the fix the compensation of
special security officers not subject to the provisions of Section 212
of the Retirement and Social Security Law.  Such compensation would be
limited to no more than the difference between their pension and the
amount of their final average salary.

 PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY :

2016: S.7055-A/A.9576-A

 FISCAL IMPLICATIONS :

To be determined.

 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This act shall take effect January 1 next succeeding the date on which
it shall have become a law.

Section 1. Amends the general municipal law by adding a new section
209-vv relating to employment of retired police officers as special

is amended to include special security officers within the provisions
relating to the governing board of any political subdivision's authori-

zation of any police or law enforcement agency to employ of specific law
enforcement retirees to protect the property or persons on the premises
of such political subdivision.

Section 3. Section 2.10 of the criminal procedure law is amended by
adding a new subdivision 85 to provide that special security officers
employed by a school district pursuant to the provisions of section
209-vv o the general municipal law, when acting pursuant to their duties
on school grounds during school hours and any school sponsored extracur-
ricular activities on such school grounds, may carry a firearm only upon
the approval of the school district and the appropriate licensing pursu-
ant to section 400.00 of the penal law.
