New York S04554 removes the verification requirement for World Trade Center rescue participation for police pension fund members.

New York S04554 amends the administrative code to eliminate the verification requirement for Tier 1 and Tier 2 New York City Police Pension Fund (POLICE) members who participated in World Trade Center rescue efforts. Under the bill, all members who filed a timely Notice of Participation would be presumed to have met the WTC participation requirements. The NYCPPF board of trustees would consider reclassifying the member's retirement as an accidental disability retirement. The bill would take effect immediately upon enactment.
