CSEA SUPPORTED BILLS
Fair Retirement for Court Officers – A bill has passed both houses of the legislature to allow court officers and peace officers employed by the Unified Court System to retire at age 55 with 30 years of service. This legislation takes a big step towards pension parity for these law enforcement personnel. Improving the pension will help the Unified Court System recruit and retain sufficient staff to keep facilities safe and secure. Follow this link and: Write a letter to Governor Hochul urging her to sign this bill!
TIER 6 SURVEY
CSEA has been fighting to reform Tier 6, securing big wins including reducing the vesting period from ten to five years; basing final average salary on highest three, rather than 5, earning years; and excluding overtime pay from employee contribution calculations. In the upcoming legislative session, we’ll once again be fighting to make improvements to Tier 6, and we want to hear from you! If you’re a Tier 6 member, take the survey, here.
