Subdivision 3 of section 1000 of the retirement and social security law, as added by chapter 548 of the laws of 2000, is amended to read as follows: 3. A member must have at least [five] TWO years of credited service (not including service granted hereunder) to be eligible to receive credit under this section. S 2. This act shall take effect immediately. FISCAL NOTE.--This bill would amend Chapter 548 of the laws of 2000 to allow members who have at least two (2) years of credited service to purchase service credit for military service. Previously a member needed at least five (5) years of credited service to be eligible to purchase such service credit. For members that purchase military service credit who ordinarily would not have attained five years of service credit, the additional military service credit could provide a vested retirement benefit where a retire- ment benefit would not have existed. Insofar as this bill would affect the New York State and Local Employ- ees' Retirement System and the New York State and Local Police and Fire Retirement System, there will be a cost for such members. Such cost will depend on the plan coverage, salary and age of the members who will be receiving an increased benefit. This cost will be shared by the State of EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted. LBD01959-02-9
