MINOR

This bill was amended to include a formal fiscal note and procedural status updates, clarifying that it allows NYCERS Tier 4 and Tier 6 Fire Protection Inspector members to use excess contributions to cover deficits. The substantive policy regarding contribution offsets remains unchanged, but the addition of the fiscal note provides official actuarial data confirming no impact on employer costs or member benefits.

Scope change

The bill's scope of applicability to specific NYCERS plans (Tier 4 and Tier 6 Fire Protection Inspectors) was clarified in the fiscal note, though the legislative text itself did not alter the eligibility criteria.

TECHNICAL

Added a detailed fiscal note explaining that the bill has no financial impact on employers or member benefits and relies on standard actuarial assumptions.

Updated the bill's procedural history to reflect it was discharged from committee, amended, and recommitted.

Changed the bill number designation from 'S 8141' to 'S 8141--A' to reflect its amended status in the legislative process.
