Bill > A07910

This bill provides a special retirement provision for Bryan Jolly, a deputy sheriff employed by Tompkins County, who was previously enrolled in a 25-year retirement plan but missed the opportunity to participate in a 20-year retirement plan. The bill allows Tompkins County to offer Jolly the option to be covered under sections 552 and 553 of the Retirement and Social Security Law, despite missing the original application deadline. If the county chooses to do so within one year of the act's effective date, Jolly can elect to participate in the 20-year plan within 18 months by filing a request with the state comptroller. The county will be responsible for all past service costs associated with this change, which are estimated at approximately $69,300 and can be amortized over a five-year period. The annual contributions for the county are expected to increase by around $8,900 in the first fiscal year. This bill is specifically tailored to address Jolly's unique circumstances and provides him an opportunity to switch to a potentially more favorable retirement plan.
