Section 207-I. Temporary supplemental retirement allowances for certain policemen

Notwithstanding the provisions of  any  general,  special  or  local   law,   charter   or  administrative  code  to  the  contrary,  a
  supplemental  retirement  allowance  shall  be  paid  pursuant  to   the
  provisions  of  subdivisions  a and b of this section to pensioners of a
  pension or retirement system of a paid police department of a  city  who
  have  retired  prior to the calendar year nineteen hundred seventy. Such
  supplemental retirement allowance under such subdivisions a and b  shall
  be  payable  on the basis provided for herein, commencing with a payment
  for the month of October, nineteen hundred sixty-seven,  and  continuing
  through  the  month of September, nineteen hundred seventy-three, except
  that in the case of pensioners of a pension or retirement  system  of  a
  paid  police  department of a city having a population of one million or
  more, such payments shall continue monthly thereafter.
    a.  The  supplemental  retirement  allowance  provided  for  in   this
  subdivision  and  in subdivision b of this section shall be a percentage
  of the retirement allowance computed without optional  modification  and
  shall  be determined on the basis of the consumer price index (all items
  -- United States city average), published by the United States Bureau of
  Labor Statistics. Said percentage shall be determined in the manner  set
  forth  in  this section. Said supplemental retirement allowance shall be
  computed on the basis of the first ten thousand five hundred dollars  of
  such annual retirement allowance and shall be payable commencing October
  first,  nineteen  hundred sixty-seven, to all disability pensioners, and
  to other pensioners  who  have  attained  age  sixty-two  on  or  before
  September  thirtieth,  nineteen  hundred  sixty-seven  and commencing on
  April first, nineteen hundred sixty-eight, to such other pensioners  who
  shall  have  attained  age sixty-two on or after October first, nineteen
  hundred sixty-seven and  on  or  before  September  thirtieth,  nineteen
  hundred  sixty-eight,  and commencing on October first, nineteen hundred
  sixty-eight, to such  other  pensioners  who  shall  have  attained  age
  sixty-two  on  or after April first, nineteen hundred sixty-eight and on
  or  before  September  thirtieth,  nineteen  hundred  sixty-eight,   and
  commencing  on October first, nineteen hundred sixty-nine, to such other
  pensioners who shall have attained age sixty-two  on  or  after  October
  first,   nineteen   hundred  sixty-eight  and  on  or  before  September
  thirtieth, nineteen hundred sixty-nine, and commencing on October first,
  nineteen hundred seventy,  to  such  other  pensioners  who  shall  have
  attained  age  sixty-two  on  or  after  April  first,  nineteen hundred
  seventy, and on or before September thirtieth, nineteen hundred seventy,
  and commencing on October first, nineteen hundred seventy-two,  to  such
  other  pensioners  who  shall  have  attained  age sixty-two on or after
  October first, nineteen hundred  seventy  and  on  or  before  September
  thirtieth,   nineteen  hundred  seventy-two,  and  to  each  such  other
  pensioner of a pension or retirement system of a paid police  department
  of  a  city  having  a  population of one million or more who shall have
  attained age sixty-two on  or  after  October  first,  nineteen  hundred
  seventy-two,  commencing  with  a  payment for the later of the month of
  July, nineteen hundred eighty-one or the month of  July  next  following
  the  twelve-month  period  ending  June  thirtieth  in  which such other
  pensioner who shall have attained age  sixty-two  on  or  after  October
  first,  nineteen  hundred  seventy-two shall have attained such age, and
  continuing monthly thereafter.
    b. The percentage  referred  to  in  subdivision  a  hereof  shall  be
  determined  from  the ratio of two indexes, in the following manner. The
  average of the twelve monthly consumer price  indexes  of  the  calendar
  year  nineteen  hundred  sixty-six  or,  for  a  supplemental retirement
  allowance payable pursuant to this section on or  after  October  first,

  nineteen hundred sixty-eight, the average of the twelve monthly consumer
  price indexes of the calendar year nineteen hundred sixty-seven, or, for
  a  supplemental retirement allowance payable pursuant to this section on
  or  after October first, nineteen hundred sixty-nine, the average of the
  twelve monthly consumer price indexes  of  the  calendar  year  nineteen
  hundred sixty-eight, or, for a supplemental retirement allowance payable
  pursuant  to  this  section  on or after October first, nineteen hundred
  seventy, the average of the twelve monthly consumer price indexes of the
  calendar year nineteen hundred sixty-nine, divided by the average of the
  twelve monthly consumer price indexes of the calendar year of retirement
  shall be the ratio of the indexes.  Said  ratio,  minus  one,  shall  be
  expressed  as  a percentage and shall be adjusted to the lower one-tenth
  of one per centum. Such adjusted percentage shall be the  percentage  of
  the  applicable  portion  of  the retirement allowance, computed without
  optional  modification  which  shall  be  payable  as   a   supplemental
  retirement  allowance under subdivision a of this section and under this
  subdivision. However, no  such  supplement  shall  be  paid  where  such
  percentage is less than three per centum. Such percentage for pensioners
  who retired prior to April first, nineteen hundred fifty-eight, shall be
  increased  by one hundred per centum thereof and the adjusted percentage
  shall be further adjusted to the lower one-tenth of one per centum. Such
  percentage shall be computed by the actuary each year and  certified  to
  the  comptroller  who  shall,  by  directive,  promulgate  a schedule of
  percentages to be used for this purpose.
    b-1. (1) In addition to any supplemental retirement allowance  payable
  in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  subdivisions  a and b of this
  section, commencing with a payment  for  the  month  of  July,  nineteen
  hundred  eighty-one  and  continuing  monthly thereafter, there shall be
  paid to each disability pensioner of a pension or retirement system of a
  paid police department of a city having a population of one  million  or
  more  who  retired  prior  to  April first, nineteen hundred seventy, an
  amount of supplemental retirement allowance determined pursuant  to  the
  provisions of paragraph three of this subdivision.
    (2)  In  the  case  of  each pensioner of such a pension or retirement
  system of such a city who retired prior to April first, nineteen hundred
  seventy, other than for disability, commencing with a  payment  for  the
  later  of the month of July, nineteen hundred eighty-one or the month of
  July next following the twelve-month period  ending  June  thirtieth  in
  which  such  pensioner  shall have attained age sixty-two and continuing
  monthly thereafter, there shall be paid to such pensioner,  in  addition
  to  any supplemental retirement allowance payable in accordance with the
  provisions of subdivisions a  and  b  of  this  section,  an  amount  of
  supplemental  retirement allowance determined pursuant to the provisions
  of paragraph three of this subdivision.
    (3) The amount of such additional  supplemental  retirement  allowance
  referred  to in paragraphs one and two of this subdivision shall equal a
  percentage of the first ten thousand five hundred dollars of the  annual
  retirement   allowance  computed  without  optional  modification.  Such
  percentage shall be determined by the date  or  year  of  retirement  in
  accordance with the table set forth below.
