JACKSON -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Civil Service and Pensions -- committee discharged, bill amended, ordered reprinted as amended and recommitted to said committee AN ACT to amend the retirement and social security law, in relation to accidental disability retirement for deputy sheriffs THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Paragraph 3 of subdivision e of section 556 of the retire- ment and social security law, as added by chapter 165 of the laws of 1995, is amended to read as follows: 3. A pension of two-thirds of [his or her] THE MEMBER'S final average salary; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, A DEPUTY SHERIFF SHALL RECEIVE A PENSION OF THREE-QUARTERS OF THEIR FINAL AVERAGE SALARY. The payment of such pension shall be subject to the provisions of section [three hundred] sixty-four of this chapter. § 2. This act shall take effect immediately. FISCAL NOTE.--Pursuant to Legislative Law, Section 50: This bill would modify the accidental retirement benefit for deputy sheriffs covered under Article 14-B of the Retirement and Social Securi- ty Law (RSSL) to be three-quarters of their final average salary, increased from the current benefit of two-thirds of final average sala- ry. Insofar as this bill affects the New York State and Local Employees' Retirement System (NYSLERS), if this legislation is enacted during the 2025 Legislative Session, there would be an increase in accrued liabil- ities of approximately $3.14 million, due to the past service accruals of affected members, which would be shared by the State of New York and all local participating employers. This will marginally increase the billing rates charged annually to all participating employers, beginning with the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
