Purpose, from the sponsor's memo

To ensure that Tier 2 police officers in the New York City Police Pension Fund (NYPPF) who transfer prior non-police service from the New York City Employees' Retirement System (NYCERS) receive the same retire- ment eligibility credit as those transferring service from the New York State and Local Retirement System (NYSLRS), eliminating an inequity in pension credit.

The sponsor's argument

Why Robert Jackson says this is needed

This bill seeks to remedy a glaring inequity facing current police offi- cers in NYPPF Tier 2 who have prior non-police New York City service transferred from NYCERS to the PPF. These Tier 2 members are eligible for a full-service retirement benefit of half their final salary upon completion of 20 years, however, prior non-police service transferred from NYCERS is currently credited towards retirement allowance rather than the years needed for retirement eligibility. Currently, New York City, through the PPF, has permitted Tier 2 police officers to apply prior non-police New York State service from the New York State and Local Retirement System (NYSLRS) to be credited towards retirement eligibility. Upon transfer or buyback, NYSLRS credit is deemed as allowable police service and applied towards the 20 years required for service retirement. NYSLRS titles include non-police and clerical positions previously held with New York State. Since police officers with prior New York State non-police service are permitted to transfer NYSLRS credit and have it deemed as allowable police service, those police officers with prior New York City non-police service who transfer NYCERS credit should be granted the same benefit. This bill will eliminate any distinction and cure the gross inequity between non- police pension transfers between NYSLRS and NYCERS as it applies to Tier 2 PPF members.

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.
