BILL NUMBER: S3291 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the retirement and social security law, in relation to certain disabilities of environmental police officers PURPOSE : This bill would add a "heart bill" provision for police officers of the Division of Law Enforcement in the Department of Environmental Conservation. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS : Section 363-A of the Retirement and Social Security Law is amended to include environmental police officers under the EXISTING LAW : Currently, police officers of the Department of Environmental Conservation are not afforded the benefit of a "heart bill". JUSTIFICATION : Environmental Conservation Police Officers perform duties which are as stressful and physically demanding as other police officers and fire-fighters. This bill will provide Environmental Conservation Police Officers with the same benefit as it pertains to a heart presumption as is provided other police officers.
