A 7893: Authorizes Lt. Thomas Cleere to receive certain service credit under a twenty year retirement plan

This bill allows Lieutenant Thomas Cleere of the Seneca Falls Police Department to switch from his current retirement plan to a 20-year retirement plan, correcting an enrollment error that occurred when he joined in 2014. The town of Seneca Falls must formally agree to cover the additional costs within 180 days, and Cleere must request the switch within one year. The town will bear all past and future costs, which can be paid over ten years. This is a specific procedural adjustment for one individual, not a broad policy change.

S 3698: Directs the superintendent of banks to promulgate rules and regulations requiring licensed cashers of checks to file suspicious activity reports

This bill (S 3698) requires licensed check cashers to file suspicious activity reports with the superintendent of banks. It directly affects check cashing businesses by expanding existing reporting requirements - previously applied to banks - to include these entities. The key mechanism is an amendment to the Banking Law (Section 371), which authorizes the superintendent to create rules mandating these reports. The bill does not change current requirements for banks or other financial institutions but adds check cashers to the list of entities required to report suspicious transactions.
