Grants retroactive membership in the New York state and local employees' retirement system to Michael Posillico
This bill grants Michael Posillico retroactive membership in New York's state and local employees' retirement system, effective May 6, 2002 - the date he began working as a park attendant/dockworker for the Town of Brookhaven. It designates him as a Tier IV member (a specific retirement classification) if he submits a written request to the state comptroller within one year of the bill's effective date. The state of New York will cover all past costs associated with this retroactive membership. The bill directly affects only Michael Posillico, correcting a past administrative error that prevented his enrollment during his Brookhaven employment.
