 TITLE OF BILL :

An act to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in
relation to extending the benefits of the variable supplements fund to
all New York city police officers, firefighters, housing police,
transit police, correction officers and registered domestic partners

 PURPOSE :

To extend the benefits of the variable supplements fund to all New
York city police officers, firefighters, housing police, transit
police, correction officers and their registered domestic partners.

 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :

This legislation adds subdivision (g) to §§ 13-271 and 13-281 of the
Administrative Code of the City of New York which would add all police
officers who are ineligible for the variable supplements fund.  This
includes all disabled and vested New York City police officers and
line of duty widows and widowers, and registered domestic partners,
who vested in a retirement system prior to the effective date of this
subdivision.

The Administrative Code of the City of New York is amended by adding a

new subdivision (i) to § 13-385 and subdivision (f) to § 13-395 to add
all firefighters who are ineligible for the variable supplement fund.
This includes all disabled and vested New York City firefighters and
line of duty widows and widowers, and registered domestic partners,
who vested in a retirement system prior to the effective date of this
subdivision.

The Administrative Code of the City of New York is amended by adding a
new paragraph (i) to subdivision 4 of § 13-191 and a new paragraph (h)
to subdivision 4 of § 13-192 to add all transit police officers who
are ineligible for the variable supplement fund. This includes all
disabled and vested New York City transit police officers and line of
duty widows and widowers, and registered domestic partners, who vested
in a retirement system prior to the effective date of this
subdivision.

The Administrative Code of the City of New York is amended by adding a
new paragraph (i) to subdivision 4 of § 13-191 and a new paragraph (h)
to subdivision 4 of § 13-192 to add all housing police officers who
are ineligible for the variable supplement fund. This includes all
disabled and vested New York City housing police officers and line of
duty widows and widowers, and registered domestic partners, who vested
in a retirement system prior to the effective date of this
subdivision.

This legislation adds subdivision (h) to § 13-194 of the
Administrative Code of the City of New York which would add all
correction officer members who are ineligible for the variable
supplements fund. This includes all disabled and vested New York City
corrections officers and line of duty widows and widowers, and
registered domestic partners, who vested in a retirement system prior
to the effective date of this subdivision.

 EXISTING LAW :

This is a new law.

 JUSTIFICATION :


The current variable supplement fund is only available to those
officers who retire after 20 years of service. Anyone who retired with
a disability pension has been excluded. All retirees should be treated
equally, therefore this bill would provide the variable supplement
benefit to all retired police officers, firefighters, housing police,
transit police and registered domestic partners from the effective
date into the future. Former members of the NYC Housing and Transit
Police that retired for service after June 30, 1987 presently receive
a supplemental benefit from the Variable Supplements Fund (hereinafter
referred to as the "VSF"). The VSF was enacted into law as a result of
a fact-finders award in 1970 and was granted to members of the NYC
Police and Fire pension funds that retired for service after October
1, 1968.

In the mid-1960s members of the Housing and Transit Police were
granted and given pay and retirement benefit parity. However, the VSF
was not bestowed upon similarly situated members of those two
departments until legislation was enacted effective after June 30,
1987, As a matter of equity and fairness, the VSF should be granted to
all members of the Housing and Transit Police that retired for service
subsequent to October 1, 1968.
