Authorizes the county of Rockland to offer an optional twenty year retirement plan to John F. Leonard, Jr., a deputy sheriff employed by such county
This bill authorizes Rockland County to allow deputy sheriff John F. Leonard, Jr. (hired August 1, 2020) to join the county's optional 20-year retirement plan, which he missed enrolling in through no fault of his own. The county must file a resolution with the state comptroller within 180 days confirming Leonard wasn't negligent, and he has one year to formally elect participation. The county bears all associated costs, which may be paid over five years. This is a one-time exception for a specific employee, not a change to retirement laws for other workers.
