MINOR

This bill updates the legislative history of a retirement law amendment to reflect its recent recommitment to the committee. It adds a new provision allowing New York City police members to choose a normal retirement benefit after twenty years of service instead of being forced into early retirement, while also updating the legal citation to include a 2025 amendment.

Scope change

The bill's scope is effectively unchanged regarding the retirement rules themselves, as the core text remains identical to the previous version, but it adds a new eligibility option for police members and updates the bill's procedural status.

ELIGIBILITY

Added a new option for New York City police members to receive a normal service retirement benefit after completing twenty years of service, rather than being restricted to early retirement benefits.

TECHNICAL

Updated the bill number to include the amendment suffix 'A' and changed the committee status from 'referred' to 'recommitted' to reflect recent legislative actions.

Updated the legal citation in Section 1 to reference a specific 2025 amendment (Chapter 55) that was added to the retirement law.
