Authorizes Joshua Kaye to receive certain retroactive membership in the New York state and local police and fire retirement system
Bill A 8357 allows Joshua Kaye to receive retroactive membership in the New York state and local police and fire retirement system. This bill addresses his situation where he did not join the system when first eligible on April 7, 2003, due to reasons not caused by his own negligence. If he files a written request within one year, he will be considered to have joined on that earlier date, granting him Tier II retirement status. The state of New York will cover the past service costs associated with this change.
