This bill restores a 20-year service requirement for full retirement benefits for New York City corrections officers and sanitation workers who were previously subject to a 22-year rule. It amends the retirement law to specify that these workers (classified as "New York city uniformed correction/sanitation revised plan members") qualify for normal retirement benefits after 20 years of service, rather than 22 years. The key mechanism is updating specific sections of the retirement law to replace the 22-year threshold with 20 years for these occupations.
