        Introduced  by  Sen. SANDERS -- read twice and ordered printed, and when

        AN ACT to amend the administrative code of the  city  of  New  York,  in
          relation  to  excluding  members  of  the police force who use hearing
          assistance devices from the definition of disabled

          The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and  Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
 
     1    Section  1.  Section  14-122 of the administrative code of the city of
     2  New York is amended to read as follows:
     3    § 14-122 Relief from active duty due to disability.  The  commissioner
     4  shall have power to relieve from active duty on patrol any member of the
     5  police  force,  who, while in the actual performance of duty and without
     6  fault or misconduct on his or her  part,  shall  have  become  disabled,
     7  physically,  as a result of injuries or illness attributable thereto, so
     8  as to be unfit to perform full police duty, such disability having  been
     9  certified  to  by so many of the police surgeons as the commissioner may
    10  require. Such member may be assigned to the performance  of  such  light
    11  duties as he or she may be qualified to perform.  The term "disabled" as
    12  used in this section shall not include those members of the police force
    13  who can fully perform police duties with the use of a hearing assistance
    14  device.
    15    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
