Eliminates the earnings limitation for retired police officers employed as
school resource officers.
BILL NUMBER:A4856
TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the retirement and social security law,
in relation to eliminating the earnings limitation for retired police
officers employed as school resource officers
PURPOSE: Removes the earnings limitation for retired police officers
while employed as school resource officers
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Section 1: Section 212 of the retirement and social security law is
amended by adding a new subdivision 3
JUSTIFICATION:
Retired police officers are well-qualified to protect our students as
school resource officers. Currently, retired public employees must apply
for a "211 Waiver" in order to earn more than $30,000 per year. This
process, can often become burdensome. The cap on earnings can deter
those best qualified to protect our children from becoming school
resource officers. This bill would allow school districts to hire
retired police officers without needing a "211 Waiver."
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: New bill.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: This bill would remove earnings limitations for
certain employees of a school district, however this is not a mandate
for districts to increase salaries.
EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect immediately.
