AN  ACT to authorize the city of Elmira to offer an optional twenty year
  retirement plan to certain police officers employed by such city

  THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary,
the  city  of Elmira, in the county of Chemung, a participating employer
in the New York state and local police and fire retirement system, which
previously elected to offer the optional twenty  year  retirement  plan,
established pursuant to section 384-d of the retirement and social secu-
rity law, to police officers employed by such city, is hereby authorized
to  make  participation in such plan available to Brooks A.  Shaw, Brian
J. Williams and Erica LaPierre, police officers employed by the city  of
Elmira,  who, for reasons not ascribable to their own negligence, failed
to make timely applications to participate in such optional twenty  year
retirement  plan.  The  city  of  Elmira may so elect by filing with the
state comptroller, on or before December 31, 2009, a resolution  of  its
local  legislative  body  together  with  certification that such police
officers did not bar themselves from participation  in  such  retirement
plan  as a result of their own negligence. Thereafter, such police offi-
cers may elect to be covered by the provisions of section 384-d  of  the
retirement  and  social  security law, and shall be entitled to the full
rights and benefits associated with  coverage  under  such  section,  by
filing  a request to that effect with the state comptroller on or before
June 30, 2010.
  S 2. All employer costs associated with implementing the provisions of
this act shall be borne by the city of Elmira.
  S 3. This act shall take effect immediately.
  FISCAL NOTE.--Pursuant to Legislative Law, section 50:
  In estimating this cost, we have assumed the following:

 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
