S 9212 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Provides for certain death benefits to deputy sheriffs employed by Orange county

This bill creates a new death benefit option for surviving family members of Orange County deputy sheriffs who die while employed. It allows beneficiaries to choose a lump sum payment equal to the pension reserve value that would have been available had the deputy retired at the time of death (or the death benefit value, whichever is greater). The county of Orange must cover all costs, amortized over 10 years, and the law bypasses standard appropriation requirements. This directly affects Orange County deputy sheriffs and their survivors, providing a financial option upon death.
