Grants Karen Schieber retroactive membership in the New York state teachers' retirement system

This bill grants Karen Schieber retroactive membership in the New York State Teachers' Retirement System for her employment period from 1996 to 2002. To qualify, she must submit a written request within one year of the bill's effective date, and any contributions she made during that time will not be refunded. The cost of covering her past service will be paid by her employers rather than the retirement system itself. This legislation applies only to this specific individual and does not create a broader policy change for other employees.
