Maddy summaryThis bill corrects a calculation error for Tina Russo, a retired New York state teacher who served 30 years but had her full-time service credit incorrectly applied. It requires the New York State Teachers' Retirement System to recalculate her pension to include all 30 years of service upon her written request, with benefits payable retroactively to her February 1, 2025 retirement date. The bill mandates this correction be completed within one year of the law's effective date. Costs for implementation are covered by the employers of retirement system members, not the state. This is a targeted correction for one individual, not a general policy change.

Maddy summaryThis bill amends the Public Health Law to allow children to request certified copies of their deceased parent's birth certificate directly, without needing a court order.

This update aims to simplify the process for families seeking vital records of parents who have passed away.
