Relates to service retirement of uniformed members of the New York city fire department pension fund

This bill modifies the retirement rules for uniformed members of the New York City Fire Department pension fund by removing the requirement to complete twenty-five years of service to qualify for a normal retirement benefit. Instead, firefighters will be eligible for this standard retirement after just twenty years of service, aligning their options with those of police officers. The legislation also adjusts the timing for when these members can begin receiving their pension payments to match the new eligibility threshold. These changes take effect immediately upon the bill's passage.
