A. The Broome County Legislature hereby finds and declares that § 207-c of the General
Municipal Law which provides wage and medical benefits for Sheriff's deputies and
correction officers injured in the performance of their duties has been difficult to
administer because of the lack of guidelines in the statute.

regulate the application for and the award of benefits under § 207-c of the General
Municipal Law. This Article creates procedures that will ensure a fair and equitable
administration of benefits. This Article protects the rights of Broome County and the
Sheriff, as well as those of the employees of the county employed as Undersheriff,
Sheriff's deputies and correction officers.
C. The procedure provided by this Article shall be the exclusive method used in
administering the aforesaid benefits for Broome County. It has been enacted pursuant to
§ 207-c of the General Municipal Law.
