N.Y. Executive Law § 227: Disability benefits

§ 227. Disability benefits. The following benefits shall be paid by

the state on account of disability of a member of the division of state

police:

1. To every person now a member or who shall hereafter become a member

of the division of state police, who is now or who shall hereafter

become physically or mentally unable to perform his regular duties in a

manner satisfactory to the superintendent of the division of state

police there shall be paid during the period of such disability an

amount of not less than one-third nor more than one-half of his salary

including maintenance allowance, which amount within such limits shall

be determined by a board consisting of the superintendent of state

police, the attorney-general and the state comptroller. A member of the

New York state employees' retirement system who has heretofore served as

a member of the division of state police for a period of fifteen years

or more and who, following such a period of service, has heretofore been

retired for ordinary disability under the provisions of section

seventy-eight of the civil service law shall, notwithstanding the

provisions of section ninety-three of the civil service law, receive

from the state from appropriations made for the purpose of this section

such sum as will bring his retirement allowance under section

seventy-eight of the civil service law up to the amount which he would

have received under this subdivision if he were not a member of the New

York state employees' retirement system and were entitled to the

benefits provided for by this subdivision, to be determined in the

manner prescribed thereby.

2. The provisions of this section shall not apply in the case of any

member of the division of state police who is a member of the New York

state employees' retirement system unless he was retired by such system

for ordinary disability prior to May twenty-second, nineteen hundred

forty-two.
