Authorizes the county of Rockland to offer an optional twenty year retirement plan to Matthew Donovan, a deputy sheriff employed by such county

This bill (A 8610) authorizes Rockland County to offer a specific 20-year retirement plan to Matthew Donovan, a deputy sheriff employed by the county since August 2020. It allows the county to retroactively enroll Donovan in this optional retirement plan - established under New York's retirement law - after he was inadvertently excluded from it at hire, "through no fault of his own." The county must formally request this enrollment via a resolution filed with the state comptroller within 180 days, and Donovan has one year to elect to join the plan. The county bears all associated costs, which may be paid over five years. This is a one-time exception for a single employee, not a broad policy change.
