Purpose
This legislation would allow the Village of East Hampton to elect to reopen the provisions of Section 384-d of the Retirement and Social Security Law for certain police officers in its employ.
Summary of provisions
Section 1 outlines the requirements for the Village of East Hampton to make participation in the optional twenty- year retirement plan available to certain police officers in its employ, who previously failed to make a timely application for this plan.
