Article 11 - Division of State Police
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.
