Relates to establishing a twenty-five year retirement plan for firefighters employed by the division of military and naval affairs
This bill establishes a 25-year retirement plan for firefighters employed by New York State's Division of Military and Naval Affairs, specifically airport firefighters (apprentice through level III) and training safety officers. Eligible members can retire after 25 years of creditable service - including prior work with organized fire departments and wartime service after World War I - receiving a pension equal to half their final average salary. Members must elect to join the plan within one year of the bill's effective date. The plan serves as an alternative to existing retirement options under state law.
