BILL NUMBER:S7636 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the general municipal law, in relation to optional disability coverage for court officers in the county of Erie PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: To provide disability coverage for Erie County court officers for injuries or sickness resulting from the performance of their duties. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: The bill amends section 207-c of the general municipal law to include family court officers employed by the county of Erie in the list of employees eligible to receive disability coverage for injuries or sickness in the performance of their duties. JUSTIFICATION: The state of New York provides for disability coverage to a wide range of state and local government employees, including sheriffs, corrections officers, police officers, fire inspectors, and others, for job-related injuries and sickness. The general municipal law arbitrarily excludes court officers, who face similar risks of injury and sickness on the job. This bill addresses this inequity by including court officers in Erie County. PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: New bill. FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: To be determined.
