The bill would also allow retirees who are receiving an accidental disability pension to continue to do so despite being disapproved from receiving a federal social security disability pension. *Modify the distribution of funds for Vernon Downs racetrack to allow for future financial stability. *Make various changes to the Lake Ontario-St. Lawrence Seaway Flood Relief and Recovery Grant Program, as proposes in Legislative Bills S.6783 and A.8013-A. Specifically, the bill would modify grant award amounts, eligibility criteria, and administering State Agencies and Authorities. The bill would also modify the process for interagency collaborations to more closely reflect the process currently prescribed in the Executive Law. *Increase the appropriation in the State and Municipal Facilities Program by $13.5 million and make technical changes to the State and Municipal Facilities Program to allow a portion of the funds appropri- ated to be utilized for the Lake Ontario-St. Lawrence Seaway Flood Relief and Recovery Grant Program and to provide up to $10 million muni- cipalities in Monroe, Chautauqua, Cattaraugus, and Allegany Counties that sustained damage caused by severe storms and flooding. *Establish not more than 250 acres of land to be added to the Health and Safety Land Account and authorize municipalities in the Adirondacks and the Catskills, when necessary for public health or safety, to access the land account for road improvements and water well projects. This bill creates an application process for projects seeking to utilize the Health and Safety Land Account, which is subject to an amendment to the State Constitution. *Rename the Riverbank state park to Assemblyman Herman D. Farrell, Jr. state park; rename the National Purple Heart Hall to Senator William J. Larkin, Jr. National Purple Hart Hall; rename a portion of the state route 300 to Senator William J. Larkin, Jr. Highway; and rename the Governor Malcolm Wilson Tappan Zee bridge to the Governor Mario M. Cuomo bridge.   JUSTIFICATION: The bill is necessary to provide for fiscal and policy continuity across local governments through the extension of sales and other local tax provisions that will ensure needed revenue for local governments that will allow for the provision of vital services. The bill extends vital business tax incentives for New York City as well as tax rates that ensure the city of New York's fiscal health. This bill provides contin- ued stability and accountability for the New York City School District; provides accidental disability benefits to qualifying members of the New York City Police Pension Fund, the New York Fire Department Pension Fund, and the New York City Employees' Retirement System who would otherwise be ineligible to receive these benefits solely because the member in question is eligible for a normal service retirement benefit, and thereby ineligible to enroll in the accidental disability benefit; and many other actions to assist local and state governments.   FISCAL IMPACT: The bill will preserve approximately $1.9 billion of revenue per year for counties and cities across the state. It will also preserve approxi- mately $7.9 billion in revenues for New York City on a full fiscal-year basis, while it will also allow for a total of approximately $147 million in business tax incentives for New York City. The bill will increase pension costs to the State and to participating employers in the New York State Local Police and Fire Retirement System that would be negligible. Pension costs to the City of New York would be $8.9 million in 2018. This bill would Increase an appropriation by $13.5 million; the purchase of certain lands by the state; and minimal cost for name change of certain State properties.   EFFECTIVE DATE: This bill would take effect immediately.

    21  paragraph  shall  be  prorated according to the period such taxpayer was

     5    Section  1.  The  general  municipal  law  is  amended by adding a new
     6  section 209-ff to read as follows:
     7    § 209-ff. Provisions relating to certain accidental  disability  bene-
     8  fits.  1.  Notwithstanding  the  provisions  of  subdivisions a and b of
     9  section five hundred seven of the retirement and social security law,  a
    10  police/fire  member  in  active  service,  a  New  York  city  uniformed
    11  correction/sanitation revised plan member in active service or an inves-
    12  tigator revised plan member in active service shall be eligible for  the
    13  accidental  disability  benefit  provided  in  such section five hundred
    14  seven, regardless of whether he or she is eligible for a normal  service
    15  retirement  benefit.  For  the  purposes  of  this  section,  the  terms
    16  "police/fire member" and "active service" shall have the  same  meanings
    17  as  defined  in  section  five  hundred one of the retirement and social
    18  security law.
    19    2. Notwithstanding the provision of any general, special or local law,
    20  charter or administrative code to the contrary, subdivision d of section
    21  five hundred seven of the retirement and social security law  shall  not
    22  apply  to  retired  police/fire members, retired New York city uniformed
    23  correction/sanitation revised  plan  members  and  retired  investigator
    24  revised plan members who receive accidental disability retirement allow-
    25  ances.  Such  retirees shall be subject to post retirement medical exam-
    26  inations, and where applicable, modification  of  retirement  allowance,
    27  following  such  examinations,  in  the  same  manner and under the same
    28  conditions prescribed by law immediately prior to the  first  of  April,
    29  two    thousand   twelve   for   retired   New   York   city   uniformed
    30  correction/sanitation revised plan members, and prior to  the  first  of
    31  July,  two  thousand  nine  for  retired police/fire members and retired

    35    § 3. This act shall take effect immediately.
          FISCAL NOTE.--Pursuant to Legislative Law, Section 50:
          This  bill  will  allow certain uniformed members of public retirement
        systems who are subject to the provisions of Article 14 of  the  Retire-
        ment  and  Social  Security Law to be eligible to file for an accidental
        disability benefit regardless of whether he or she  is  eligible  for  a
        normal  service  retirement  benefit. The bill would also allow retirees
        who are receiving an accidental disability pension to continue to do  so
        despite being disapproved from receiving a federal social security disa-
        bility pension.
          If  this bill is enacted, insofar as it affects the New York State and
        Local Police and Fire Retirement System (PFRS), there are fewer than 100
        Tier 3 members that are subject to the  provisions  of  Article  14  who
        could possibly be affected.
          It  is estimated that there will be few, if any, accidental disability
        retirees affected, thus we anticipate that the cost to state of New York
        and the participating in the PFRS would be negligible.
          Summary of relevant resources:
          The membership data used in  measuring  the  impact  of  the  proposed
        change  was  the same as that used in the March 31, 2016 actuarial valu-

          This  estimate,  dated  May 26, 2017, and intended for use only during

        the Actuary for the New York State and Local Retirement System.
          FISCAL NOTE.--Pursuant to Legislative Law, Section 50:
          PROVISIONS  OF PROPOSED LEGISLATION: With respect to the New York City
        Police Pension Fund (POLICE), the New York  City  Employees'  Retirement
        System  (NYCERS),  the  proposed legislation would add Section 209-ff to
        the General Municipal Law  (GML)  to  permit  POLICE,  FIRE  and  NYCERS
        Members  who  are  subject  to Retirement and Social Security Law (RSSL)
        Article 14 (Eligible Members) and who would be ineligible for disability
        retirement benefits solely on account of being  eligible  for  a  normal
        service retirement benefit to be eligible for disability benefits.
          The  proposed  legislation  would also relax the safeguards provisions
        regarding  restrictions  on  post-retirement  employment  for   Eligible
        Members  who are awarded Accident Disability Retirement (ADR), and would
        also make the process for reducing or eliminating an ADR  benefit  based
        on post-retirement earnings more onerous.
          Currently,  Eligible Members receiving ADR benefits are subject to the
        safeguards provision contained in  RSSL  section  507(d).  RSSL  section
        507(d)  restricts ADR recipients who have not reached age 65 from engag-
        ing in employment or business activity that would render them ineligible
        for social security disability benefits. It is the understanding of  the
        Actuary  that ceasing to be disabled or earning above a threshold amount
        determined by the Social Security Administration,  set  at  $13,560  per
        year  in  2016  for  non-blind individuals, would result in an automatic
        cessation of ADR benefits.
          Where applicable, Eligible Members who would have been deemed ineligi-
        ble for social security disability may be permitted to receive ADR bene-
        fits while being placed on a preferred eligible  list  for  purposes  of
        reemployment  at  a salary grade not to exceed that from which the indi-
        vidual retired. Once an offer of employment is made, ADR benefits  would
        cease.
          Under  the  proposed legislation, RSSL section 507(d) safeguards would
        become inapplicable to Eligible  Members,  and  a  medical  examination,
        followed by the conditions prescribed by safeguards provisions in effect
        for the relevant POLICE, FIRE and NYCERS titles who became members prior
        to  the  application  or RSSL Article 14 would be required before an ADR
        benefit reduction or suspension could occur.
          Although subject to varying applicable safeguards provisions, relevant
        POLICE, FIRE and NYCERS titles that joined prior to the  application  of
        RSSL  Article  14  are  generally  subject to two alternative safeguards
        processes. Where an ADR recipient has not yet reached the minimum age of
        service retirement and the sum of ADR retirement benefits  and  post-re-
        tirement  earnings  exceed the salary of the title next higher than that

        A. 1                               54
 
        held at the time of retirement, the ADR pension is automatically reduced
        by the  amount  exceeding  such  salary  rate.  The  second  alternative
        involves  a medical examination to determine disability level, the Board
        of  Trustee  review  and  approval, to reduce the ADR amount based on an
        ability of the retiree to perform gainful employment,  or  based  on  an
        offer  of employment after being placed on a preferred eligible list. It
        is the understanding of the Actuary,  that  the  second  alternative  is
        rarely utilized.
          The proposed legislation would therefore eliminate the automatic bene-
        fit  reduction  and termination alternative under safeguards, reduce the
        amount of time safeguards may be applied  to  a  retiree,  increase  the
        amount  of  post-retirement  earnings an ADR recipient may earn before a
        reduction or elimination of an ADR benefit can be  applied,  and  modify
        the safeguards provision in effect for Eligible Member titles who became
        members prior to application of Article 14 to require a medical examina-
        tion and Board of Trustee review and approval to reduce or terminate and
        ADR  benefit  even in situations where the retiree is gainfully employed
        and earning above the applicable post-retirement earnings threshold.
          The Effective Date of the proposed legislation would be  the  date  of
        enactment.
          IMPACT  ON  ADR  BENEFITS  PAYABLE: Under the proposed legislation the
        eligibility requirements for disability benefits  would  be  revised  to
        allow for benefits after a member is eligible for normal service retire-
        ment  benefits  and  the  safeguards  provisions  would  be  relaxed  as
        explained above.
          FINANCIAL IMPACT - CHANGES IN PROJECTED  ACTUARIAL  PRESENT  VALUE  OF
        BENEFITS  AND  PROJECTED  EMPLOYER  CONTRIBUTIONS:  For purposes of this
        Fiscal Note, it is assumed that the changes  in  the  Actuarial  Present
        Value  (APV)  of  benefits  (APVB),  APV  of  member  contributions, the
        Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability (UAAL) and APV of  future  employer
        contributions would be reflected for the first time in the June 30, 2016
        actuarial  valuation  of POLICE, FIRE and NYCERS. Under the One-Year Lag
        Methodology (OYLM), the first year in  which  changes  in  benefits  for
        Eligible Members would impact employer contributions to POLICE, FIRE and
        NYCERS would be Fiscal Year 2018.
          The additional member contributions expressed as percentages of annual
        wages  provided  in  section  18  of Chapter 298 of the Laws of 2016 and
        section 4, Part SSS of Chapter 59 of the Laws of 2017  for  purposes  of
        maintaining  no  additional employer contributions for implementation of
        the Enhanced Plan for applicable members included the cost  for  changes
        to  eligibility  requirements for disability retirement contained in the
        proposed legislation, corresponding to the APVB in Table 1 below.
          Table 1 presents an estimate of the increases in the APV  of  benefits
        and  in  employer  contributions  to  POLICE, FIRE and NYCERS for Fiscal
        Years 2018 through 2022 due to the  changes  in  disability  eligibility
        based on the applicable actuarial assumptions and methods noted herein:

          ACTUARIAL  ASSUMPTIONS  AND  METHODS: The change in the APVB presented
        herein has been calculated based on the actuarial assumptions and  meth-
        ods  in  effect  for the Preliminary June 30, 2016 (Lag) actuarial valu-
        ations used to determine  the  Preliminary  Fiscal  Year  2018  employer
        contributions of POLICE, FIRE and NYCERS.
          It  has  been  further assumed that all Tier 3 POLICE, FIRE and NYCERS
        members who became members prior to the effective date of  the  proposed
        legislation will choose new disability provisions.
          New  entrants  were projected to replace the members expected to leave
        the active population to maintain a steady-state population.

    50  be leased, exchanged, donated or otherwise disposed of or used for other
    51  than the eligible project for which it was approved without the  express
    52  authority  of an act of the legislature. When the project sponsor deter-
    53  mines such eligible project is no longer needed, the lands shall  revert
    54  to  the state for inclusion in the forest preserve. The department shall
    55  prescribe the terms and conditions for the removal of  any  improvements
    56  to the land and restoration of the land to a natural, vegetative state.
