The sponsor's argument

Why Andrew J. Lanza says this is needed

This bill would allow certain employees, who were employed by the City of Yonkers Parks Department beginning in 2009 and ending in 2014 and who are now employed by the New York City Department of Education and are members of the New York City Teachers' Retirement System (NYC TRS) to apply for retroactive Tier IV membership. This bill grants this benefit to certain employees, for reasons not ascribable to their own negli- gence. This bill would grant certain employees service credit in the NYC TRS for their employment with the city of Yonkers Parks Department for the period beginning in 2009 and ending in 2014. Additionally, the bill grants these certain employees Tier IV status in NYC TRS, provided that an application is filed with the head of the NYC TRS within one year from the effective date of this act.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
