Sponsor's memo
Title of bill
An act to amend the retirement and social security law, in relation to military service credit
Purpose or general idea of bill
To make New York's dates for authorized action in Lebanon match the federal government's start date for purposes of pension credit.
Summary of specific provisions
section one of the bill amends §1000 of the Retirement and Social Security Law to make August 20, 1982, the state-recognized beginning date for authorized actions in Lebanon.
Section two is the effective date.
Justification
New York State Retirement and social security Law recognizes June I, 1983, as the beginning of the military conflict in Lebanon. However, the Secretary of the Navy, in the Navy and Marine Corps A wards Manual, advises that authorized operations for which personnel can receive the Navy Expeditionary Medal began August 20, 1982, nearly a year before New York will give our veterans credit for. This legislation is necessary to correct this error.
