TITLE OF BILL:
An act granting retroactive membership in the New York state and local
employees' retirement system to Michael Posillico
 
PURPOSE:
To allow Michael Posillico a tier change.
 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Section 1. Allows Mr. Posillico to change his tier status from Tier V to
Tier IV
Section 2. States all costs shall be borne by the State of New York
Section 3. Sets forth the effective date.
 
JUSTIFICATION:
This legislation will grant Michael Posillico a tier change reflection
his first date of service with New York State. He was first employed by
the Town of Brookhaven in May 2002. He has also worked for the Suffolk
County Sheriff's office and most recently for the Suffolk County Police
Department. Although eligible to join the retirement system in 2002, he
was advised by his supervisor not to join the system. This legislation
would correct that wrong and provide Mr. Posillico with the Tier he is
entitled to as a dedicated employee of New York State.
