BILL NUMBER:S6374

Title of bill

An act in relation to allowing Gustin L. Reichbach to obtain service credit for his service as a judge with the United Nations administration mission in Kosovo

Purpose or general idea of bill

This bill would grant additional service credit to Gustin L. Reichbach, a Justice for the Supreme Court for service rendered as a judge. with the United Nations War Crimes Tribunal in Kosovo from September 1, 2003 through February 27, 2004.

Justification

Justice Reichbach was asked to serve on the Kosovo Supreme Court to preside over war crime trials and appeals in the aftermath of the ethnic conflict in Kosovo by members of a United Nations Mission to Kosovo. Prior to his decision, he contacted the NYS Comptroller's Office and received approval of his retirement service credit for the time he was to serve in Kosovo. Based on this authorization, he agreed to partic- ipate on the international court. After making this commitment and following his departure, the Comptroller's office notified Justice Reichbach that his approval was made in error thus disallowing the service credit.
