 TITLE OF BILL :
An act to grant Normajean Cesario a retroactive system membership date
and tier I status in the New York state and local employees'
retirement system


 PURPOSE :
Grants Normajean Cesario a retroactive system membership date in the
New York State and Local Employees' Retirement System.

 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :
Section 1. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, Normajean
Cesario, an active member of the New York State and Local Employees'
Retirement System with Tier IV status, who was first employed by New
York city health and hospitals corporation as a nurse from July 10,
1967 to February 1969 and who, for reasons not ascribable to her own
negligence, failed to become a member of the New York city employees'
retirement system while so employed by the New York city health and
hospital corporation, shall be deemed to have joined the New York
State and Local Employees' Retirement System on July 10, 1967 with
Tier 1 status.

Section 2. No contributions made to the New York State and Local
Employees' Retirement System by Normajean Cesario shall be returned to

her.

Section 3. All costs of implementing the provisions of this act shall
be borne by the state of New York.

Section 4. This act shall take effect immediately.

 JUSTIFICATION :
From July 10, 1967 until February 1969, Normajean Cesario was employed
by the New York city health and hospitals corporation as a nurse.
Through no fault of her own, Ms.  Cesario was not offered membership
in the New York City Employees' Retirement System. This bill would
rectify the situation by recognizing Ms. Cesario previous service and
providing her with the same retirement benefits as other individuals
who were employed during the same time period.

 LEGISLATIVE HISTORY :
2008: S.7857 - Referred to Civil Service/A.11265 - Referred to
Governmental Employees

 FISCAL IMPLICATIONS :

annual contributions of the State of New York for the fiscal year
ending March 31, 2010.  There will also be an immediate past service
cost of approximately $106,000 which would be borne by New York State
as a one-time payment, assuming that the payment will be made on March
1, 2010.

 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This act shall take effect immediately.

  If  this bill is enacted, we anticipate that there will be an increase
of approximately $2,200 in the annual contributions of the State of  New
York for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2010.
  In addition to the annual contributions discussed above, there will be
an  immediate past service cost of approximately $106,000 which would be
borne by the State of New York as a one-time payment. This  estimate  is
based on the assumption that payment will be made on March 1, 2010.

the  2009  Legislative Session, is Fiscal Note No. 2009-125, prepared by
the Actuary for the New York State & Local Employees' Retirement System.
