S 7803 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Authorizes Joshua Kaye to receive certain retroactive membership in the New York state and local police and fire retirement system

This bill authorizes Joshua Kaye, a current member of the New York state and local police and fire retirement system, to receive retroactive membership. If he files a request within one year, he will be considered to have joined the system on April 7, 2003, and be granted Tier II status. This addresses his previous failure to join the system during his employment with North Merrick Public School District, which was not due to his own negligence. The state of New York will cover all associated past service costs for this change.
