BILL NUMBER:S5565A

Title of bill

An act granting retroactive tier IV membership in the New York state and local employees' retirement system to Jill Alix, Chris Karwiel, Jessica Strizzi and Taryn Ward

Purpose or general idea of bill

The purpose of this bill is to authorize Jill Alix, Chris Karwiel, Jessica Strizzi and Taryn Ward retroactive tier membership in Tier IV by changing their dates of membership in the System to be the dates they first were employed by the village of Green Island.

Summary of specific provisions

Section one of this bill deems Jill Alix a member of the retirement system as of the date of her employment and membership application, on July 20, 2008, by the village of Green Island, if on or before December 31, 2013 she shall file an application therefore with the state comptroller. Upon the receipt of such an application, Jill Alix shall be granted Tier IV status in the New York state local employees' retirement system and be made eligible for all the rights and benefits thereof.

Section two of this bill deems Chris Karwiel a member of the retirement system as of the date of his employment, on July 19 2002, by the village of Green Island, if on or before December 31, 2013 he shall file an application therefore with the state comptroller. Upon the receipt of such an application, Chris Karwiel shall be granted Tier IV status in the New York state local employees' retirement system and be made eligible for all the rights and benefits thereof.

Section three of this bill deems Jessica Strizzi a member of the retirement system as of the date of her employment and membership application, on July 28, 2007 by the village of Green Island, if on or before December 31, 2013 she shall file an application therefore with the state comptroller. Upon the receipt of such an application, Jessica Strizzi shall be granted Tier IV status in the New York state local employees' retirement system and be made eligible for all the rights and benefits thereof.

Section four of this bill deems Taryn Ward a member of the retirement system as of the date of her employment, on May 27, 2008, by the village of Green Island, if on or before December 31, 2013 she shall file an application therefore with the state comptroller. Upon the receipt of such an application, Taryn Ward shall be granted Tier IV status in the New York state local employees' retirement system and be made eligible for all the rights and benefits thereof.

Section five provides that all past service costs will be borne by the village of Green Island.

Section six provides for an immediate effective date.

Justification

Jill Alix, Chris Karwiel, Jessica Strizzi and Taryn Ward should be reinstated into Tier IV based upon their dates of employment by the village of Green Island. For reasons not ascribable to their own negligence and due to an administrative error, their applications were not processed in the usual manner therefore incorrectly placing them in Tier V.
