Introduced by M. of A. ABBATE -- read once and referred to the Committee
on Governmental Employees
AN ACT to amend the parks, recreation and historic preservation law, in
relation to increasing the mandatory retirement age of New York state
regional park police
The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-bly, do enact as follows:
1 Section 1. Subdivision 4 of section 13.17 of the parks, recreation and
2 historic preservation law, as amended by chapter 662 of the laws of
3 1972, is amended to read as follows:
4 4. Any member appointed on or after April first, nineteen hundred
5 sixty-five shall be separated from such service upon attaining [sixty-
6 two] sixty-five years of age.
7 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
FISCAL NOTE.--Pursuant to Legislative Law, Section 50:
This bill would provide that any New York State park police officer
appointed on or after April first, nineteen hundred sixty-five shall be
separated from such service upon attaining age sixty-five, rather than
the current age sixty-two.
If this bill is enacted, there could be additional benefits for
certain park police officers who remain employed beyond their current
mandatory retirement age. However, if some members delay retirement due
to enactment of this bill, we would not anticipate that there would be
an increase in the annual contribution rates as a percentage of payroll
for New York State.
This estimate, dated April 8, 2011, and intended for use only during
the 2011 Legislative Session, is Fiscal Note No. 2011-166, prepared by
the Actuary for the New York State and Local Police and Fire Retirement
System.
EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
[] is old law to be omitted.
