S 4426 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to waiving the earning limitations for retired sworn officers employed by a district attorney as investigators

This bill (S 4426) removes earnings restrictions for retired sworn officers who work as investigators for district attorneys in any county. It amends retirement law to exempt these individuals from standard income limits that typically apply to retirees receiving benefits. Specifically, it adds a new provision stating that retired officers employed as sworn investigators by a district attorney are not subject to earnings caps. The change directly affects retired law enforcement officers hired in investigative roles by prosecutors’ offices statewide.
