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 offer a specific 20-year retirement plan to John F. Leonard, Jr., a deputy sheriff who was not enrolled in the plan despite being eligible due to circumstances beyond his control (starting August 1, 2020). The county must formally request this exception by filing a resolution with the state comptroller within 180 days, confirming Leonard wasn't at fault for missing enrollment. Leonard can then choose to join the plan by filing an election within one year, with his service from August 2020 retroactively credited. The county bears all associated costs, which may be paid over five years.
