BILL NUMBER:A8790
Title of bill
An act in relation to granting Leonard Wayne Bourne tier 2 status in the New York state and local employees' retirement system
Purpose
This bill grants Leonard Wayne Bourne tier 2 status in the New York state and local employees' retirement system.
Summary of provisions
Section 1- Notwithstanding any other provision of law, Leonard Bourne Wayne shall be able to join the tier 2 retirement system if he shall file a written request with the state comptroller to that effect.
Section 2- All past service costs associated with the implementation of this act shall be borne by the State of New York.
Section 3- Contains Effective Date.
Justification
Leonard Bourne Wayne started his employment with Suffolk county Department of Labor in May of 1976, as part of the CETA 6 program. He then became employed with the Public Administration Office within the Suffolk County Department of Labor. Subsequently, Mr. Bourne gained employment in Suffolk County's Social Services division and then left that post for a period of three years. Mr. Bourne again became employed with Suffolk County Department of Social Services in 1984 and remains employed at present. Although the New York State Retirement System had granted Mr. Bourne the opportunity for retroactive membership dating back to his original date of employment of May 3, 1976, the offer to provide him with coinciding tier status was not extended. This bill would grant Mr. Bourne the opportunity to change his staus in the New York State Retirement system from Tier III to Tier II, which he would have been entitled to in 1976.
