A 8323 - Grants Retroactive Retirement System Membership for Brian Landers

Overview

Bill Number: A 8323
Title: Grants retroactive membership with Tier IV status in the New York state and local employees' retirement system to Brian Landers
Status: REFERRED TO GOVERNMENTAL EMPLOYEES
Introduced: May 13, 2025

Purpose and Intent

The purpose of this bill is to grant retroactive membership in the New York state and local employees' retirement system to Brian Landers, with Tier IV status. The intent is to provide Landers with the benefits and protections of the state retirement system, despite his not having been enrolled previously.

Key Provisions

  • Grants Brian Landers retroactive membership in the New York state and local employees' retirement system, effective from the date he began his employment
  • Designates Landers as a Tier IV member, entitling him to the benefits and contribution requirements associated with that tier
  • Requires the state comptroller to take all necessary actions to enroll Landers in the retirement system and provide him with Tier IV status
  • Directs the comptroller to credit Landers with the service time he has accrued since the start of his employment

Affected Parties and Impacts

  • Brian Landers, the individual who this bill aims to retroactively enroll in the state retirement system
  • The New York state and local employees' retirement system, which will be required to process Landers' enrollment and provide him with Tier IV benefits
  • Landers' employer, whose contributions to the retirement system on his behalf will be required

The primary impact will be to ensure that Landers receives the pension and retirement benefits he is entitled to based on his years of public service, despite the apparent oversight in not enrolling him previously.

Procedural and Timeline Considerations

This bill has been referred to the Governmental Employees committee for consideration. If passed by the committee and the full state legislature, it would then go to the governor for final approval and enactment into law. The bill does not specify a timeline for implementation, but the retroactive nature suggests the intent is for the changes to take effect as soon as possible upon the bill becoming law.
