Provides for a disability retirement for certain deputy sheriff members of a retirement system in certain cities

Summary

The bill adds a new section to the General Municipal Law that treats lung‑related disability or death for deputy sheriffs in cities of one million residents or more as a presumptive service injury. Affected officers can retire with a pension equal to three‑quarters of their final average salary, and recent retirees (within five years) can receive the same benefit retroactively. The amendment takes effect immediately.
