MINOR
The bill was amended to reflect its recommitment to the Committee on Governmental Employees for further review. Substantively, the text added a specific reference to a 2025 law regarding the amendment of Section 505, while also inserting a new provision allowing New York City police members to choose a normal retirement benefit after twenty years of service instead of the early retirement option.
Scope change
The bill's scope remains focused on New York City police, fire, correction, and sanitation retirement plans, but the applicability of Section 505 is now explicitly linked to a 2025 legislative change.
TECHNICAL

Added a citation to a 2025 law (Chapter 55, Part SS) as the authority for amending Section 505 of the retirement and social security law.

ELIGIBILITY

Inserted a new clause granting New York City police members the option to receive a normal service retirement benefit after completing twenty years of service, rather than being restricted to early retirement benefits.
