Maddy summaryThis bill allows Lieutenant Thomas Cleere of the Seneca Falls Police Department to switch from his current retirement plan to a 20-year retirement plan, correcting an enrollment error that occurred when he joined in 2014. The town of Seneca Falls must formally agree to cover the additional costs within 180 days, and Cleere must request the switch within one year. The town will bear all past and future costs, which can be paid over ten years. This is a specific procedural adjustment for one individual, not a broad policy change.

Maddy summaryThis bill would allow Nassau County to optionally provide disability coverage for its probation officers. If enacted, it would require the county to pay full salary and cover all medical costs if a probation officer is injured or becomes ill while performing job duties. The coverage would apply specifically to Nassau County probation officers (not officers in other counties) and prohibits medical providers from billing officers for covered treatments. The bill amends existing municipal law to include county probation officers under the same disability coverage provisions already available to other public safety personnel in Nassau County.
