S 8837 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to optional disability coverage for county probation officers

S 8837 would allow Nassau County to optionally provide disability coverage for its county probation officers. If adopted, the county would pay full salary and cover medical costs for probation officers injured or ill due to job duties, mirroring existing coverage for police and fire personnel. The bill does not require Nassau County to implement this coverage - it remains a choice for the county. This change extends existing disability protections to a new group of county employees, without altering current requirements for other covered workers.
