                                       ___________
        Introduced  by  M.  of  A.  HAWLEY,  CASTORINA,  CROUCH, GIGLIO, MURRAY,
          NORRIS, RA, RAIA, TAGUE, THIELE -- Multi-Sponsored  by  --  M.  of  A.
          FRIEND  --  read  once  and  referred to the Committee on Governmental
          Operations
        AN ACT to amend the retirement and social security law, in  relation  to
          annual  earnings  limitations  for retired police officers employed as
          school resource officers
          The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and  Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
     1    Section  1.  Section  212 of the retirement and social security law is
     2  amended by adding a new subdivision 4 to read as follows:
     3    4. Notwithstanding the provisions of subdivisions one and two of  this
     4  section,  such  annual earnings limitations for a retired police officer
     5  employed by a school district in either the classified  or  unclassified
     6  service  as  a  school  resource  officer, school safety officer, school
     7  security officer or any other substantially similar position  or  office
     8  that  is  designed  to provide safety and/or security on school grounds,
     9  provided that such retired police officer is duly  qualified,  competent
    10  and  physically  fit  for  performance  of the duties of the position in
    11  which he or she is to be employed as determined by the  school  district
    12  and is properly certified where such certification is required, shall be
    13  $50,000 for the year 2018 and thereafter.
    14    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
          FISCAL NOTE.--Pursuant to Legislative Law, Section 50:
          This  bill  will  allow  retired  police  officers to be employed by a
        school district as a school safety officer, school security  officer  or
        any  other  substantially  similar position for an annual salary of less
        than $50,000 and continue to  receive  their  full  retirement  benefit.
        Currently, this privilege is only allowed to retired police officers who
        are employed as a school resource officer.
          If  this bill is enacted, insofar as it will affect the New York State
        and Local Police and Fire Retirement System, we expect few  retirees  to
        be affected. There would be negligible additional annual costs.
          Summary of relevant resources:
