BILL NUMBER:S7365
Title of bill
An act to authorize the town of Carmel, in the county of Putnam, to offer an optional twenty year retirement plan to police officers Robert Behan and James Evans
Purpose
Authorizes the town of Carmel, in the county of Putnam, to offer police officers Robert Behan and James Evans an optional 20 year retirement plan.
Summary of provisions
Section One - Authorizes an offer of an optional twenty year retirement plan under section 384-d of the retirement and social security law available to police officers, Robert Behan and James Evans of the town of Carmel in the county of Putnam. The town of Carmel may so elect by filing with the state comptroller on or before December 31, 2014, a resolution of the town board together with certification that such police officers did not bar themselves from participation in such retirement plan as a result of their own negligence. After this is done, the selected officers may elect to be covered by the provisions of section 384-d of the retirement and social security law, will be entitled to the full rights and benefits associated with coverage under the section while employed by filing a request with the state comptroller on or before June 30, 2015.
Section Two - All past service costs associated with implementing the provisions of this act will be borne by the town of Carmel.
Section Three - This act shall take effect immediately.
Justification
Upon hiring Mr. Robert Behan (Reg No. 0A85614-6) and Mr. James Evans (Reg No. 0A95610-2) of the Town of Carmel Police Department and members of the NYS PFRS were registered under the wrong retirement plan. They were incorrectly registered in the 375-i plan. Upon registration these two members should have been registered in the 20-year Section 384-d plan. The Town of Carmel is requesting that Plan 384-d be re-opened for these two officers. The Town has received a cost estimate from the New York State and Local Retirement System for legislation that will allow these two officers to do so. Upon re-opening Officer Behan and Officer Evans may elected to be covered under the provisions of such plan.
