BILL NUMBER:S7796A
Title of bill
An act in relation to allowing John R. Panichi to join the special retirement plan for sheriffs, undersheriffs and deputy sheriffs
Purpose or general idea of bill
To allow John R. Panichi, a deputy sheriff in Rensselaer County, the option to join the special retirement plan for sheriffs, undersheriffs and deputy sheriffs.
Summary of specific provisions
Section one provides John R. Panichi the ability to join the special retirement plan on or before December 31, 2010. Section two provides that all costs incurred as a result shall be borne by Rensselaer County. Section three is the effective date.
Justification
Pursuant to Retirement and Social Security Law Section 553, which is an additional pension benefit for members of the optional twenty year retirement plan, sheriffs deputies may elect such coverage within one year of either joining the retirement system or being appointed to the position. John R. Panichi, due to no negligence of his own, was unable to join within this time period. Rensselaer County would like to extend this option for Mr. Panichi and the county legislature has passed a resolution to this effect. In the resolution, the county has agreed to bear all costs. A fiscal impact note from the State Comptroller's Office estimates that Rensselaer County will be required to fund an increase of $4,800 in annual contributions and an immediate past service cost of approximately $27,600.
