 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. Subdivision 3 of section 363-a of the retirement and social
 security  law, as amended by chapter 437 of the laws of 2016, is amended
 to read as follows:
   3. As used in this section, the terms "firefighter" and "police  offi-
 cer"  mean  any  member who is performing police or fire service, as the
 phrase police or fire service is defined in paragraphs a, b, c, d, f (as
 added by chapter six hundred seventy-four of the laws of nineteen eight-
 y-six), f (as added by chapter six hundred seventy-seven of the laws  of
 nineteen  eighty-six),  g,  h,  I and j of subdivision eleven of section

 ination  which  failed  to  disclose  evidence  of  any disease or other

   § 2. The amendments to section 363-a  of  the  retirement  and  social
 security  law  made by section one of this act shall not affect, impair,
 or invalidate any  temporary  right,  privilege,  or  benefit  conferred
 pursuant  to  the  provisions  of a general, special or local law (other
 than pursuant to articles 14 and 15 of the retirement and social securi-
 ty law) for any member of a public retirement  system  or  pension  plan
 funded  by the state or one of its political subdivisions, nor shall any
 amendments thereto affect the application of such provisions as extended
 by the provisions of section 480 of the retirement and  social  security
 law.
   § 3. This act shall take effect immediately.
