        Introduced  by  Sens.  LARKIN, BONACIC, GIPSON -- read twice and ordered
          printed, and when printed to be committed to the  Committee  on  Civil
          Service  and  Pensions  -- committee discharged, bill amended, ordered

          to  the  Committee  on  Civil  Service and Pensions in accordance with

        AN  ACT  to amend the retirement and social security law, in relation to
          authorizing retired firefighters to be employed as instructor of  fire
          sciences by a career and technical education center without diminution
          of his or her retirement benefits
 
          The  People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
 
     1    Section 1. The retirement and social security law is amended by adding
     2  a new section 214-c to read as follows:
     3    § 214-c. Employment of certain retired persons who retired  from  fire
     4  service.   Notwithstanding   the  provisions  of  this  chapter  or  the

     5  provisions of any state or local law or  charter  to  the  contrary,  no
     6  retired person who retired from fire service as a member of the New York
     7  state  and  local police and fire retirement system or the New York fire
     8  department pension fund, and who is employed by a career  and  technical
     9  education  center as an instructor in a fire science program approved by
    10  the education department, shall have his or her retirement allowance  or
    11  benefits  suspended  or  reduced  because of compensation earned by such
    12  retired person from service as a fire science instructor.
    13    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
          FISCAL NOTE.--This bill will allow retired  firefighters  of  the  New
        York  State  and Local Police and Fire Retirement System or the New York

        City Fire Department Pension Fund to work as a fire  science  instructor
 
         EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                              [ ] is old law to be omitted.
                                                                   LBD01352-04-4

        S. 274--B                           2
 
        in  a program approved by the New York State Department of Education and
        to continue to receive their retirement benefit.
          If  this bill is enacted, insofar as it will affect the New York State
        and Local Police and Fire Retirement System, we expect few  retirees  to
        be affected. There would be negligible additional annual costs.
          Summary of relevant resources:
