Restores the 20 year service retirement for certain New York city corrections officers
This bill restores a 20-year service requirement for retirement benefits for New York City uniformed corrections officers (specifically those in the "revised plan" category). It changes the law to allow these officers to qualify for normal retirement benefits after 20 years of service, instead of the previous 22-year requirement. The key provision removes the 22-year threshold for this group, aligning their eligibility with other police/fire members. This change directly affects current and future NYC corrections officers covered by the revised retirement plan.
