Bill A 7083 — Summary

Overview

Bill A 7083, introduced on March 20, 2025 and currently referred to the Governmental Employees committee, is a private bill authorizing a specific individual, Carl Spatola, to receive a refund from the New York State Teachers’ Retirement System (NYSTRS). Private bills grant targeted benefits or actions to named persons rather than broad public policy. The primary sponsor is AssemblyMember Jerett Gandolfo.

Purpose

  • To authorize NYSTRS to issue a refund to Carl Spatola. The bill’s text would specify the scope and terms of the refund, including how much may be refunded and under what conditions, consistent with existing state pension rules.

Key Provisions (as typically included in private bills of this nature)

  • Authorization for NYSTRS to provide a refund payable to Carl Spatola.
  • Alignment with applicable NYSTRS laws and regulations governing refunds, eligibility, and processing.
  • Processing and timing details as defined in the bill’s language (the exact terms would appear in the enacted text).

Affected Parties

  • Primary beneficiary: Carl Spatola.
  • New York State Teachers’ Retirement System (NYSTRS) and its governing statutes, policies, and administrative processes.
  • Potentially, other stakeholders within NYSTRS involved in refunds and member benefits.

Financial/Administrative Impact

  • A direct refund would be a transaction funded by NYSTRS. The bill would specify the amount (or basis for calculation) and any associated interest or penalties, if applicable.
  • The action could affect NYSTRS’ current assets and reserves to the extent the refund is approved, in the manner and timing described in the bill.

Procedural and Timeline Aspects

  • Status: Referred to the Committee on Governmental Employees (as of March 20, 2025).
  • Legislative actions listed: two identical references on 2025-03-20, indicating referral in parallel or duplicate entries.
  • Related actions: Private bills often follow a similar pattern across sessions; this bill has several related or companion bills in both Senate and Assembly from prior sessions.

Related Legislation

  • Companion/related bills: S 7339 (companion), S 5094, S 3400 (prior-session Senate bills), A 8198, A 5111 (prior-session Assembly bills).
  • These related measures suggest a recurring effort to authorize a specific refund or remedy for Carl Spatola or similar private relief requests.

Next Steps and Considerations

  • The committee will review the bill, potentially hold hearings, and decide whether to advance it to the full Legislature.
  • If enacted, the bill would become law and NYSTRS could process the refund per the bill’s terms.
  • Readers may want to monitor for the bill’s full text to understand precise amounts, eligibility criteria, and any conditions or sunset provisions.
