S 7411 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Authorizes Lt. Thomas Cleere to receive certain service credit under a twenty year retirement plan

This bill allows Lieutenant Thomas Cleere, a Seneca Falls police officer, to switch from an incorrect retirement plan to a 20-year retirement plan under New York state law. It requires the town of Seneca Falls to formally approve this change by filing a resolution within 180 days and cover all associated costs (amortized over 10 years). The change applies only to Cleere's service history, which he was enrolled in by mistake, and he must request the switch within one year of the bill's effective date. The bill is a specific adjustment for one officer's retirement eligibility, not a broad policy change.
