Entitles Dennis Malone, an employee of the Town of Clarkstown who retired from such service on August 16, 2018, and who participated in the World Trade Center rescue, recovery and cleanup operations to a 75% accidental disability retirement benefit.

This bill grants Dennis Malone, a retired employee of the Town of Clarkstown, a 75% accidental disability retirement benefit due to his involvement in the World Trade Center rescue and recovery efforts. He retired on August 16, 2018, and this legislation recognizes his service during a critical time.

Supporters of the bill argue that it is a just recognition of Dennis Malone's bravery and sacrifice during the World Trade Center recovery operations. They believe that providing him with a substantial disability benefit is a moral obligation to honor those who risked their lives for the safety of others.

Critics may contend that this bill sets a precedent for granting significant benefits based on specific circumstances, which could lead to increased financial burdens on the state's pension system. They might argue that while Malone's service is commendable, similar cases could arise, complicating the allocation of benefits for other retirees.
