MODERATE
This bill was amended to reflect updated committee status and revised actuarial data. The changes significantly reduce the projected financial impact on the state, lowering the estimated increase in employer contributions and the unfunded liability compared to the original version.
Scope change
The bill's scope remains focused on the New York City Police Pension Fund, but the financial projections and data baselines have been updated to reflect a later census date and different demographic assumptions.
FISCAL

The projected increase in employer contributions for 2026 was removed entirely, and future years show a reduced impact (e.g., 2027 contribution impact dropped from $8.4M to $6.1M).

The actuarial present value of employer contributions decreased from $33.6 million to $21.6 million, indicating a lower estimated cost to the state.

The amortization of the unfunded liability was reduced from $28.5 million to $16.5 million, and the payment schedule was shortened from 5 years to 4 years.

TECHNICAL

The census data baseline was updated from June 30, 2024, to June 30, 2025, resulting in a smaller active member count (9,007 vs. 10,574) and slightly higher average age and salary.

The bill text was updated to include the co-sponsor's name and reflect the committee's discharge and recommitment status.
