Relates to accidental disability retirement for sheriffs

This bill amends New York's retirement law to increase accidental disability retirement benefits for sheriffs from two-thirds to three-quarters of their final average salary. The change affects sheriffs covered under Article 14-B of the Retirement and Social Security Law and increases the estimated cost to the state and local employers from approximately $3.14 million to $5.6 million. The fiscal impact includes a 0.02% increase in annual billing rates for participating employers, with additional costs for future service accruals.
