Amends the New York State Constitution to protect accrued pension benefits for public employees.

This bill proposes an amendment to the New York State Constitution to ensure that accrued benefits for members of a public pension or retirement system cannot be diminished or impaired except as authorized and prescribed by the legislature. It also allows for the reduction or revocation of a public officer's pension if convicted of a felony directly related to their duties, following a court hearing. The court must consider factors such as the severity of the crime and potential hardship on dependents when deciding on pension forfeiture.
