Grants retroactive tier IV membership in the New York state and local employees' retirement system to Kenneth Panaro

Bill A 5465 grants Kenneth Panaro retroactive Tier IV membership in New York's state and local employees' retirement system, effective June 25, 2007 - the date he began working for the Town of Hempstead. It retroactively treats him as a system member from his hire date, allowing him to access Tier IV benefits without refunding past employee contributions. The Town of Hempstead must cover all associated costs, and Panaro must apply within one year of the law's effective date. This is a targeted, individual bill with no broader policy impact.
