Relates to calculating certain pensions
This bill increases the pension calculation for certain New York state and local government employees who joined after April 1, 2012, with 20 or more years of service. It raises the base percentage used to calculate retirement benefits from 35% to 40% of their final average salary, plus an additional 1/50th of that salary for each year of service beyond 20 years (up to 30 years total). The change directly affects new members of the New York State and Local Employees' Retirement System who meet these service and membership criteria. The law takes effect immediately upon enactment.

MINOR
This version of the bill (A9273B) is a procedural reprint that incorporates amendments passed by the Assembly Committee on Governmental Employees. The substantive text of the pension law remains identical to the previous version (A9273A), meaning the actual retirement benefit calculations and eligibility rules have not changed.
TECHNICAL
The bill's title and bill number were updated from 'A 9273--A' to 'A 9273--B' to reflect its new version status.
The internal committee status text was updated to indicate the bill was 'again reported from said committee with amendments' rather than simply recommitted.
The document identification number (LBD06549) was updated from '04-6' to '09-6', likely reflecting a new printing date or revision cycle.
