  THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section  1. Section 607-c of the retirement and social security law is
amended by adding a new subdivision f to read as follows:
  F. ANY SHERIFF, DEPUTY SHERIFF, UNDERSHERIFF, OR CORRECTION OFFICER AS
DEFINED IN SUBDIVISION A OF SECTION SIXTY-THREE-B OF THIS  CHAPTER,  AND
WHO  IS  EMPLOYED  IN  NASSAU COUNTY, WHO BECOMES PHYSICALLY OR MENTALLY
INCAPACITATED FOR THE PERFORMANCE OF DUTIES AS THE NATURAL AND PROXIMATE
RESULT OF AN INJURY, SUSTAINED IN THE PERFORMANCE OR DISCHARGE OF HIS OR
HER DUTIES BY, OR AS THE NATURAL AND PROXIMATE RESULT OF AN  INTENTIONAL
OR  RECKLESS  ACT  OF ANY CIVILIAN VISITING, OR OTHERWISE PRESENT AT, AN
INSTITUTION UNDER THE JURISDICTION OF  SUCH  COUNTY,  SHALL  BE  PAID  A
PERFORMANCE  OF DUTY DISABILITY RETIREMENT ALLOWANCE EQUAL TO THAT WHICH
IS PROVIDED IN SECTION SIXTY-THREE  OF  THIS  CHAPTER,  SUBJECT  TO  THE
PROVISIONS OF SECTION SIXTY-FOUR OF THIS CHAPTER.
  S  2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, none
of the provisions of this act shall be subject  to  section  25  of  the
retirement and social security law.
  S 3. This act shall take effect immediately.
  FISCAL NOTE: Pursuant to Legislative Law, Section 50:
  This  bill  will  allow  any  sheriff, undersheriff, deputy sheriff or
correction officer employed by  Nassau  County  to  become  eligible  to
receive a performance of duty benefit due to the intentional or reckless
act of a civilian visiting an institution under the jurisdiction of such
county.  The  benefit  will be 75% of final average salary less worker's
compensation. Currently, to be eligible for such improved benefit, it is
required that such injuries were sustained as the result of an  "act  of
an inmate".

 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
