AI Summary

  • Adds Section 13-341.1 to the New York City Administrative Code to prevent revocation, repeal, or diminishment of Fire Department Pension Fund payments when a pensioner holds or receives compensation from elected public office.

  • Applies to election to any public office in New York State, or any city, county, political subdivision, agency, or board within New York State.

  • Overrides any conflicting provisions in the NYC Charter, Administrative Code, or Retirement and Social Security Law Sections 211 and 212 that currently limit pensions due to post-retirement earnings.

  • Mirrors existing protections for retired New York City Police Pension Fund members under Administrative Code Section 13-250.
