Restores the 20 year service retirement for certain New York city corrections officers and sanitation workers
This bill restores a 20-year service requirement for normal retirement benefits for New York City corrections officers and sanitation workers enrolled in a specific retirement plan (the "uniformed correction/sanitation revised plan"). It amends retirement law to change their normal retirement age from 22 years of service to 20 years, aligning it with their previous eligibility before a 2012 change. The key provision allows these workers to retire with full benefits after 20 years of service without needing to wait until age 62. This directly affects approximately 10,000 current and future NYC corrections/sanitation employees in this retirement plan. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage.
