The sponsor's argument
Why Robert Jackson says this is needed
This bill would provide pension credit to any eligible member of the NYS or NYC retirement system who has prior service time and then becomes a Nassau County Fire Marshal. Currently, the prior service time of such members would not count toward the Fire Marshals' 25-Year Special Plan. Nassau County Fire Marshals fill a vital Law Enforcement position in the community. Currently, Nassau County has a difficult time attracting & retaining qualified personnel who work for different government agencies in New York State or New York City retirement systems. Providing pension credit for prior service time serves as an incentive for these individ- uals to continue living and working in Nassau County and New York State.
This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
