Establishes a temporary task force on the variable supplements fund program
This bill creates a temporary task force to review why New York City disability retirees are excluded from the Variable Supplements Fund (VSF) program, which provides supplemental retirement payments to police and fire department members. The task force, appointed by the governor, legislative leaders, the mayor, and other officials, will investigate the issue through public hearings, gather evidence, and recommend changes within one year. It must report its findings to the governor, state comptroller, and legislative committees but does not directly alter the VSF program. The goal is to address longstanding eligibility concerns for disability retirees who have been largely excluded from receiving these supplements.
