A 11661 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Prohibits elected officials from collecting retirement while still in office when the retirement is earned from an elective public office

This bill prevents elected officials from receiving their retirement pension while they continue to serve in that same public office. It directly affects current and future state and local elected leaders who have already retired and are seeking to return to their previous roles. The law requires that any pension payments be paused for the duration of their new term, with the exception of specific minor positions like election inspectors or notaries. This rule applies immediately to all officials, regardless of when they were originally elected or when they retire.
