Grants retroactive tier IV membership in the New York state and local employees' retirement system to Richard J. Vogt, III

This bill grants Richard J. Vogt, III retroactive membership in the New York state and local employees' retirement system as a Tier IV member, effective May 1, 2000. It applies specifically to Vogt, who worked at SUNY Maritime College during that period but was not enrolled in the retirement system due to circumstances beyond his control. To activate this, Vogt must submit a written application to the state comptroller within one year of the bill's effective date, after which he will receive all Tier IV benefits. The SUNY Maritime College bears all associated costs for the retroactive service, with no refund of Vogt's past contributions.
