 Introduced by M. of A. STIRPE -- read once and referred to the Committee
   on Governmental Employees
 
 AN  ACT  to amend the retirement and social security law, in relation to
   increasing the earning limitations for retired law  enforcement  offi-
   cers; and providing for the repeal of such provisions upon the expira-
   tion thereof

   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. Section 212 of the retirement and social  security  law  is
 amended by adding a new subdivision 4 to read as follows:
   4.  NOTWITHSTANDING THE PROVISIONS OF SUBDIVISIONS ONE AND TWO OF THIS
 SECTION, THE EARNINGS LIMITATION FOR THE YEAR TWO  THOUSAND  TWENTY-FOUR
 AND  THEREAFTER  SHALL  BE SIXTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR A RETIRED LAW
 ENFORCEMENT OFFICER EMPLOYED AS A LAW  ENFORCEMENT  OFFICER  AFTER  SUCH
 RETIREMENT.  FOR  THE PURPOSES OF THIS SECTION, "RETIRED LAW ENFORCEMENT
 OFFICER" SHALL MEAN A RETIRED POLICE OFFICER, A RETIRED  STATE  TROOPER,
 OR A RETIRED DEPUTY SHERIFF.
   §  2.  This  act shall take effect immediately and shall expire and be
 deemed repealed January 1, 2029.
   FISCAL NOTE.--Pursuant to Legislative Law, Section 50:
   Insofar as it would affect the New York  State  and  Local  Retirement
 System (NYSLRS), this bill would allow retired police officers and depu-
 ty sheriffs to be reemployed in a law enforcement capacity with an annu-
 al  salary  of $65,000 or less to continue to receive their full retire-
 ment benefit for the 5-year period beginning January 1, 2024 and  ending
 December  31,  2028.  Currently,  the  post-retirement earnings limit is
 $35,000.
   If this bill were enacted during the  2023  legislative  session,  the
 direct  cost  incurred  would  be the retiree's post-retirement earnings
 more than $35,000 each calendar year, not to  exceed  the  full  pension
 benefit paid by the NYSLRS during that period.

  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.

 AN ACT to amend the retirement and social security law, in  relation  to
   increasing the earning limitations for retired persons in positions of
   public service
 
   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. Section 212 of the retirement and social  security  law  is
 amended by adding a new subdivision 2-a to read as follows:
   2-A.  NOTWITHSTANDING  THE  PROVISIONS  OF  SUBDIVISION  TWO  OF  THIS
 SECTION, THE EARNINGS LIMITATION FOR RETIRED PERSONS IN  A  POSITION  OF
 PUBLIC  SERVICE  SHALL  BE  INCREASED TO FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS FROM THE
 YEAR TWO THOUSAND TWENTY-FOUR AND THEREAFTER.
   § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
   FISCAL NOTE.--Pursuant to Legislative Law, Section 50:
   This bill would add a new  subdivision  2-a  to  Section  212  of  the
 Retirement  and  Social  Security Law to increase the earnings-after-re-
 tirement limitation to $50,000 for retired members who return to work in
 positions of public employment for calendar year  2024  and  thereafter.
 Currently this earnings limitation is $35,000.
   This  increase  in  the earnings-after-retirement limit is expected to
 have an impact on the Retirement System's patterns of retirement and  it
 is  expected  that  some members will retire earlier than they otherwise
 would have. Earlier retirement  generally  increases  plan  costs  since
 members will be receiving their benefits for a longer period. If retire-
 ment patterns shift more than expected, there will be additional costs.

  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.
