BILL NUMBER: S9124

SPONSOR: KAPLAN
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in
relation to granting members of the city's police force eligibility for
retirement and pension based on previous service as traffic enforcement
agents

 
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:

Allow members of the NYC police force who were previously traffic
enforcement agents to receive service credit.

 
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:

Section 1. The Administrative code of the city of New York is amended by
adding a new section 13-633 to read as follows: § 13-633 Transfer of
members of the New York city police department from traffic enforcement
to the police force. A. the time served as a member of the city's traf-
fic enforcement who has become a member of the police force of the'

city, whether by transfer or as a result of a competitive exam and
appointment, and who is still a member of the police force of the city
shall be included and counted as service in the police force for the
police department of the city in determination of retirement and
pension.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

Present law only allows this benefit to other law enforcement personnel
such as corrections. There are presently approximately 300 "Traffic
Enforcement Agents" that have transferred to the NYC police force. They
should be afforded the same advantages and benefits that their counter-
parts are afforded for the time they served.

 
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

S. 3592 of 2011-Referred to Cities Committee

S.6038 (2010) - Held in Civil Service and Pensions

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

To be determined.

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately.
