BILL NUMBER:S3760A
Title of bill
An act to allow the New York state and local employees' retirement system to posthumously establish a service retirement for Gustin L. Reichbach; and to amend chapter 43 of the laws of 2012, relating to allowing Gustin L. Reichbach to obtain service credit for his service as a judge with the United Nations administration mission in Kosovo, in relation to the filing requirements for such service credit
Purpose or general idea of bill
This bill would deem the service retirement application filed by Gustin L. Reichbach to have taken effect one day before the date of his death. In addition, this bill would allow the administrator of Gustin's L. Reichbach's estate to file for additional service credit 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 after-math 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 participate 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.
