Provides for the transfer of service credit between certain retirement systems
This bill (S 6437) allows New York City police officers who previously worked as assistant district attorneys or examining attorneys for the NYPD corruption commission to count that prior service toward their pension benefits. To qualify, officers must transfer their member contributions plus 5% annual interest into the NYPD Police Pension Fund. The bill applies only to service before joining the police department and requires losing any credited service in the NYC Employees Retirement System upon transfer. It directly affects NYC police officers with prior legal roles in specific city agencies.
