BILL NUMBER:S4128A
Title of bill
An act to amend part A of chapter 504 of the laws of 2009, amending the retirement and social security law and other laws relating to establishing police and fire retirement provisions, in relation to special retirement plans available to persons joining a public retirement system between July 1, 2009 and January 10, 2010
Purpose
To amend section B of Part A of Chapter 504 of the Laws of 2009 to apply to members of the New York State and Local police and Fire Retirement System who became members on or after July 1, 2009 and before January 10, 2010.
Summary of provisions
New section 8b provides that any member of the New York State and Local Police and Fire Retirement System who became a member on or after July 1, 2009 and before January 10, 2010 may join a special retirement plan open to him or her pursuant to a collectively negotiated agreement with any state or local government employer, where such agreement was in effect on or after July 1, 2009 and before January 10, 2010.
Justification
The purpose of Section B of Part A of Chapter 504 of the Laws of 2009 was to provide that members of an employee organization that were eligible to join a special retirement plan pursuant to a collectively negotiated agreement with any state or local government employer, would be able to continue to enroll in that special plan after the enactment of" this bill, until the date on which such agreement terminated. However, due to the effective date of Part A and the date the Chapter was signed, members who joined the New York State and Local police and Fire Retirement System on or after July 1, 2009 and before January 10, 2010 remain on the "bubble" as they are unaddressed by the provisions of Chapter 504 of the Laws of 2009. As such, this bill allows members who joined the New York State and Local Police and Fire Retirement System on or after July 1, 2009 and before January 10, 2010 to enroll in a special retirement plan.
