Sponsor's memo

Title of bill

An act in relation to granting Kelsey Wilczynski Tier IV status in the New York state and local employees' retirement system with a membership date of July 5, 2007

Purpose

This bill allows Kelsey Wilczynski to apply for Tier IV status in the New York State and Local Employees' Retirement System.

Summary of provisions

Section 1: Allows Kelsey Wilczynski to apply for retroactive membership in the New York State and Local Employees' Retirement System with an effective date of July 2, 2007, at which point she will be deemed to have Tier IV status in such system.

Section 2: States that all past employer costs of implementing the provisions of this act shall be borne by the Bedford Central School District.

Section 3: Provides that this act shall take effect immediately.

Justification

Kelsey Wilczynski was employed as a day camp counselor by the Town of North Collins Recreation department on July 5, 2007. However, records from the Town of North Collins indicate she was not offered the option to join the retirement system, as is legally required, and thus failed to become a member of the New York State and Local Employees' Retirement System. This legislation would correct this oversight by allowing her to receive the tier status that she should have received on July 2, 2007. It should be noted that all past service costs of implementing the provisions of this act would be borne exclusively by the Town of North Collins.
