Relates to reducing a correction officer's pension to satisfy certain judgments from the death or hospitalization of an incarcerated individual.

This bill amends the New York State Constitution to allow for the reduction of a correction officer's pension to no less than $20,000 to satisfy a judgment related to the death or hospitalization of an incarcerated individual. The court must hold a hearing to determine the amount of the reduction, considering factors such as the severity of the correction officer's actions and the proportionality of the pension reduction. The court must also consider whether the reduction would result in undue hardship or inequity upon any dependent children, spouse, or other dependents.
