New York (State). Commission on Pensions.

The 1954 Legislature created a seven-member State Commission on Pensions in the Executive Department (L. 1954, Ch. 98).

Members were appointed by the Governor. The Commission was authorized to study and analyze types and cost of public employee pension and retirement systems; methods to improve the operations and effectiveness of such systems; effects of proposed legislation on retirement, income after retirement, disability, and death benefits; and other topics relating to retirement and pensions. The results of the Commission's studies and legislative recommendations were reported to the Governor, Legislature, and other appropriate public bodies and officials. In 1960, on the Governor's recommendation, the Commission was abolished by law (Ch. 330) and its functions and records transferred to the Civil Service Commission.
