Bill > S08105

This bill allows Christopher P. Mayr, a retired member of the New York State and Local Police and Fire Retirement System, to receive service credit for his employment as a firefighter in the city of Rensselaer between July 31, 1997, and August 28, 2004. Specifically, Mayr was not previously granted service credit under section 384-d of the retirement and social security law for this period of employment, through no fault of his own. The bill enables him to receive full rights and benefits associated with this service credit, but he must file a request with the state comptroller within one year of the act's effective date. The city of Rensselaer will be responsible for paying the approximately $115,000 in past service costs associated with granting this credit. This individualized legislative action appears designed to correct an administrative oversight that prevented Mayr from receiving proper recognition for his firefighting service during that specific time period.
