Authorizes an optional twenty-five year retirement plan for fire marshals I or supervisors of such title in Suffolk county
This bill creates a new optional retirement plan specifically for fire marshals I and supervisors of that title working in Suffolk County or participating towns and villages within the county. Under this plan, eligible employees can retire after completing 25 years of service without regard to their age, receiving a pension equal to one-half of their final average salary, with benefits increasing slightly for each additional year of service up to a maximum of three-fourths of their salary. The program is voluntary for both the employers and the employees, requiring a formal election by the county or town to adopt the plan and a separate written choice by the individual to participate. Additionally, the bill allows firefighters and officers with prior service to count those years toward the 25-year requirement, provided the employer has opted into this specific program.
