Summary of Bill A 8817

Overview

  • Bill Number: A 8817
  • Title: Authorizes Larry Mendel to receive his 30 years of service credit granting eligibility for the length of service award program
  • Status: REFERRED TO GOVERNMENTAL EMPLOYEES
  • Introduced: June 9, 2025
  • Classification: bill
  • Sponsor (primary): Matthew Slater

Purpose and Intent

  • The bill aims to authorize a single individual, Larry Mendel, to receive 30 years of service credit specifically to grant eligibility for the length of service award program.
  • This appears to be a targeted exception that would allow Mendel to qualify for the program based on 30 years of service credit.

Key Provisions

  • Authorization of 30 years of service credit for Larry Mendel.
  • Such service credit would grant eligibility for the length of service award program.
  • The measure seems to apply only to Mendel and does not establish a general rule or process for other individuals.
  • The bill has been referred to the Governmental Employees committee for consideration.

Affected Parties and Impacts

  • Primary beneficiary: Larry Mendel, who would receive 30 years of service credit and thereby become eligible for the length of service award program.
  • Length of service award program and its administering agency would be responsible for implementing this credit and determining eligibility.
  • Potential fiscal/administrative impact: The one-person adjustment could affect program costs or award calculations, though the scope is limited to a single individual.

Procedural and Timeline Aspects

  • Introduced and immediately referred to the Governmental Employees committee on June 9, 2025.
  • The legislative actions indicate no further committee actions or floor votes are listed at this time; the bill is in the early committee stage.
  • No explicit hearing dates, amendments, or final disposition are provided.

Summary of Potential Implications

  • The bill would create a narrowly tailored exception to grant 30 years of service credit to one person for the purpose of program eligibility.
  • If enacted, the change would impact only Larry Mendel, with potential administrative considerations for the program’s crediting rules and any corresponding benefits or awards.
  • The broader policy implications are limited by the bill’s targeted scope and lack of general applicability.
