MODERATE
This bill amendment updates the fiscal projections and timeline for a retirement benefit change affecting correction officers in New York State. The amendment reflects updated membership data and cost estimates based on 2025 figures rather than 2024 data, adjusting the expected payment date from March 2026 to March 2027.
Scope change
The bill's substantive scope remains unchanged - it still allows certain correction officers to switch from a service-based retirement plan to an age-based plan. However, the fiscal note was updated to reflect current membership statistics and revised cost estimates.
FISCAL

Updated one-time past service cost estimate from $31.6 million to $40.4 million based on newer membership data.

TIMELINE

Changed the assumed payment date for the one-time cost from March 1, 2026 to March 1, 2027.

TECHNICAL

Updated fiscal note references from 2024 data and 2025 Legislative Session to 2025 data and 2026 Legislative Session.

Revised affected member count from 547 to 489 and total annual salary estimate from $71 million to $88 million.
