Relates to the disability retirement for safety and security officers

Summary

The bill amends New York’s retirement law to let security hospital treatment assistants and certain qualified members receive performance‑of‑duty disability retirement if they are incapacitated by injuries or diseases linked to interactions with incarcerated individuals. It presumes disability for HIV, tuberculosis, hepatitis and heart‑related conditions contracted in the line of duty unless proven otherwise. The change takes effect immediately and is currently referred to the Governmental Employees Committee.
