Summary
This New York bill permits certain dispatcher members in the 25-year retirement program to file elections not to participate in the program. Specifically, it allows dispatcher members who were over age 30 when hired and missed the original 180-day deadline to file an election not to participate within 180 days of the law's effective date. The retirement system must post the election form and instructions on its website and announce the posting on its homepage within 30 days of the law's effective date. If the retirement system fails to post the form within 30 days, the filing deadline is extended by 60 days for each month or part thereof that the form remains unavailable. The law is effective immediately.
