Bill Summary

AN ACT in relation to granting retroactive tier II membership in the New York state and local police and fire retirement system to Javier-Luis I. Martinez

AI Summary

This bill grants retroactive membership in the New York State and Local Police and Fire Retirement System, specifically **tier II status**, to Javier-Luis I. Martinez, an employee of the town of Colonie. This means that even though he is currently a member under a different tier (Tier 6), he will be treated as if he joined the system under Tier II rules as of June 30, 2008, his original start date as a youth court program assistant, provided he applies to the state comptroller within one year of the bill's enactment. This change is intended to correct an oversight where he failed to join the correct retirement system at that time through no fault of his own. The town of Colonie will be responsible for any past service costs associated with this change, and Mr. Martinez will not receive a refund of his contributions. The bill takes effect immediately.
