S 1538 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to optional disability coverage for county probation officers

This bill (S 1538) adds county probation officers in Nassau County to a list of public safety workers eligible for optional disability coverage. If Nassau County chooses to adopt it, probation officers injured or made ill while performing job duties would receive full salary during recovery and have medical/hospital costs covered by the county - mirroring existing protections for police, firefighters, and other covered roles. The coverage is optional for Nassau County, not mandatory statewide, and prohibits medical providers from billing the officers directly. It does not change current coverage for other counties or public safety workers outside Nassau.
