Go to top STATE OF NEW YORK ________________________________________________________________________ 5290 2015-2016 Regular Sessions IN ASSEMBLY February 17, 2015 ___________ Introduced by M. of A. ABBATE -- read once and referred to the Committee on Governmental Employees AN ACT to amend the retirement and social security law, in relation to accidental disability retirement for uniformed court officers and peace officers employed in the unified court system The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem- bly, do enact as follows: 1 Section 1. Subdivision a of section 605-a of the retirement and social 2 security law, as amended by chapter 489 of the laws of 2008, is amended 3 to read as follows: 4 a. A member employed as a uniformed court officer or peace officer in 5 the unified court system shall be entitled to an accidental disability 6 retirement allowance if, at the time application therefor is filed, such 7 member is: 8 1. Physically or mentally incapacitated for performance of duty as the 9 natural and proximate result of an accident, not caused by his own will- 10 ful negligence, sustained in such service and while actually a member of 11 the retirement system; and 12 2. Actually in service upon which his or her membership is based. 13 However, in a case where a member is discontinued from service subse- 14 quent to the accident, either voluntarily or involuntarily, and provided 15 that the member meets the requirements of paragraph one of this subdivi- 16 sion, application may be made either (a) by a vested member incapaci- 17 tated as the result of a qualifying World Trade Center condition as 18 defined in section two of this chapter at any time, or (b) not later 19 than two years after the member is first discontinued from service. 20 For purposes of this subdivision, a member who is injured as the 21 result of a physical assault by an assailant, suffered while in service 22 shall be entitled to accidental disability retirement unless the contra- 23 ry can be proven by competent evidence under this section. EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [] is old law to be omitted. LBD07735-03-5A. 5290 2 1 § 2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, none 2 of the provisions of this act shall be subject to section 25 of the 3 retirement and social security law. 4 § 3. This act shall take effect immediately. FISCAL NOTE. -- Pursuant to Legislative Law, Section 50: This bill would allow Tier 3, 4, 5 and 6 uniformed court officers and peace officers in the unified court system to be eligible for an acci- dental disability for injuries sustained in the performance of duty and the result of an injury sustained in the performance or discharge of duty by or as the result of an assault by an assailant, unless the contrary be proven by competent evidence. The benefit for an accidental disability would be 75% of final average salary less worker's compen- sation. If this bill is enacted, the cost will vary depending on the members' age, service, tier and salary. It is estimated that the average per person cost will be approximately three (3) times salary. The exact number of members who could be affected by this legislation cannot be readily determined. In all likelihood, very few members would be affected. Summary of relevant resources: The membership data used in measuring the impact of the proposed change was the same as that used in the March 31, 2014 actuarial valu- ation. Distributions and other statistics can be found in the 2014 Report of the Actuary and the 2014 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. The actuarial assumptions and methods used are described in the 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 Annual Report to the Comptroller on Actuarial Assumptions, and the Codes Rules and Regulations of the State of New York: Audit and Control. The Market Assets and GASB Disclosures are found in the March 31, 2014 New York State and Local Retirement System Financial Statements and Supplementary Information. I am a member of the American Academy of Actuaries and meet the Quali- fication Standards to render the actuarial opinion contained herein. This estimate, dated January 28, 2015 and intended for use only during the 2015 Legislative Session, is Fiscal Note No. 2015-52, prepared by the Actuary for the New York State and Local Employees' Retirement System.
