BILL NUMBER:A9721
Title of bill
An act authorizing Paul J. Kosinski to file for retroactive membership in the New York state and local employees' retirement system with tier 2 status
Purpose
To allow Paul Kosinski to be reclassified as a Tier 2 member of the New York State and Local Employees' retirement system.
Summary of provisions
Section 1 permits Paul Kosinski membership under Tier 2 of the New York State and Local Employees' Retirement System based on his employment which began on November 20, 1974 with the City of Buffalo.
Section 2 states that all the costs associated with the enactment of this legislation shall be assumed by the State of New York.
Justification
For reasons not ascribable to his own negligence, Mr. Kosinski was not offered membership in the New York State and Local Employees' Retirement System upon his initial employment in 1974. This bill would allow Mr. Kosinski, upon written request with the State Comptroller, to be reclassified as a Tier 2 member.
