§ 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.
