 Introduced by M. of A. ABBATE -- read once and referred to the Committee
   on Governmental Employees
 
 AN  ACT  to authorize employers to provide a temporary retirement incen-
   tive for certain public employees in the city of New  York  (Part  A);
   and  to  provide an age 55/25 years temporary retirement incentive for
   certain public employees in the city of New York (Part B)
 
   THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section  1.  This  act  enacts into law components of legislation that
 would enable the city of New York to offer a temporary retirement incen-

 retirement  benefits  provided  for  in this act are designed to achieve

 retirement benefit provided for in Part B of this act are intended  only
 to  be temporary in nature for employees who are eligible to receive and
 qualify for the applicable benefit during the  applicable  time  periods
 specified  within  each  Part.  Further,  nothing  in  this act shall be
 construed to create an expectation of a future or continuing  retirement
 benefit for any public employee who is not eligible to receive and qual-
