MODERATE

This bill amendment updates the bill number and committee status information while keeping the core heart disease presumption benefit for Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority employees unchanged. The most significant changes are in the fiscal impact tables, which now reflect updated actuarial calculations based on a 2025 valuation date instead of 2024, resulting in higher projected costs for the city.

Scope change

The bill's substantive scope and eligibility criteria remain unchanged; only the fiscal impact projections were updated with new actuarial assumptions.

TECHNICAL

Bill number updated from A 8797 to A 8797--A to reflect committee processing status.

Valuation date for fiscal impact tables changed from June 30, 2024 to June 30, 2025.

FISCAL

Projected employer contribution costs increased: single disability case rose from $507K to $537K, single death case from $1,885K to $1,990K.

Annual amortization payment amounts increased from $60K to $63K for disability cases and from $223K to $235K for death cases.

Fiscal impact projection period extended from 2050 to 2051 in the updated tables.
