Relates to limiting participation by certain public or quasi-public organizations in the retirement system

Bill S 7917 amends the retirement and social security law to limit participation in the state retirement system for certain organizations. It specifies that officers and employees of particular public and quasi-public organizations, such as the New York State Association of Counties and the New York State School Boards Association, will no longer be eligible to join the retirement system. This restriction applies only to individuals first employed by these named associations, or any school board association, on or after the bill's effective date.
