BILL NUMBER:S3181
Title of bill
An act to authorize Jaime Laczko to elect to participate in the optional twenty-five year retirement plan for forest rangers in the service of the department of environmental conservation
Purpose
Authorizes Jamie Laczko to elect to participate in the optional 25 year retirement plan for forest rangers.
Summary of provisions
Section 1- Authorizes Jamie Laczko to file an application with the State Comptroller to participate in the retirement plan established by section 383-c of the retirement and social security law. The bill further provides that the application must be files within one year of the effective date.
Section 2- States that all past cost associated with implementing the provisions in the act shall be borne by the state of New York.
Section 3- Contains the effective date.
Justification
Forest Ranger Jamie Laczko was placed in the Police and Fire retirement plan 375H rather than the 383C plan option. At the time, forest rangers were made Police officers in 2006 they were given the option to transfer into the Police and Fire Retirement System. Ranger Laczko's intent was to be placed in the 383C plan which would allow him to retire after 25 years of service, however, he was placed in the 375H plan through an error in filling out the paper work.
