Sponsor's memo
Title of bill
An act in relation to allowing Marion Hoffman to file a request for Tier I status in the New York state and local police and fire retirement system with the state comptroller
Purpose or general idea of bill
To authorize Marion Hoffman to file a request for Tier I status in the New York State and Local Police and Fire Retirement System.
Summary of specific provisions
Marion Hoffman has been employed with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation as an Environmental Conservation Officer for approximately thirty-six years. For reasons not ascribable to her own negligence, she did not become a member of the New York State and Local Police and Fire Retirement System at the time of hiring.
Justification
Marion Hoffman was hired on June 14, 1973, due to the temporary, competitive classification of her appointment membership in the retirement system was not mandatory, and thus her membership in the retirement system did not take effect until the time her application was received by the retirement system which was August 1, 1973. Between those dates, Tier II status took effect and thus Ms. Hoffman was granted Tier II status and not Tier I status.
