Authorizes an optional twenty-five year retirement plan for uniformed court officers and peace officers employed by the unified court system
S 4581 creates an optional 25-year retirement plan for uniformed court officers and peace officers working within New York's unified court system. Under this plan, eligible members can retire after 25 years of service and receive a pension equal to half their final average salary. The plan is optional and alternative to existing retirement options, with service in certain law enforcement roles (including state police and fire departments) counted toward the 25-year requirement. This bill directly affects court system officers and peace officers who choose this specific retirement pathway.
