AN ACT to authorize Chester S. Kasprzyk to apply for retroactive member-
  ship and service credit in the New York  state  and  local  employees'
  retirement system

  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,  Chester  S.
Kasprzyk, a member of the New York state and local employees' retirement
system  employed  by  the  county of Erie, who was employed by the sewer
department of the town of Cheektowaga from July 1,  1975  to  1978,  and
who,  for reasons not ascribable to his own negligence, failed to become
a member of the town of Cheektowaga employees' retirement  system  while
so  employed  by the town of Cheektowaga, shall be deemed to have joined
the New York state and local employees' retirement  system  on  July  1,
1975  and  receive  service  credit  in  such retirement system for such
employment by the town of Cheektowaga, if on or before December 31, 2010
he shall file an application therefor with the state  comptroller.  Upon
the  receipt  of such application, Chester S.  Kasprzyk shall be granted
Tier II status in the New York state  and  local  employees'  retirement
system and be eligible for all the rights and benefits thereof.
  S  2. No contributions made to the New York state and local employees'
retirement system by Chester S. Kasprzyk shall be returned to him pursu-
ant to this act.
  S 3. All past service costs of implementing the provisions of this act
shall be borne by the town of Cheektowaga.
  S 4. This act shall take effect immediately.
  FISCAL NOTE.--This bill will deem Chester S.  Kasprzyk,  currently  an
employee  of  Erie  County and a Tier 3 member of the New York State and
Local Employees' Retirement System, to have first become a member of the

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

                                                           LBD16074-02-0

S. 8240                             2                           A. 11488

Retirement System on July 1, 1975, thereby making him a Tier  2  member.
There will be no refund of Tier 3 member contributions.
  If  this bill is enacted, we anticipate that there will be an increase
of approximately $2,400 in the annual contributions of Erie  County  for
the fiscal year ending March 31, 2011.
  In addition to the annual contributions discussed above, there will be
an  immediate  past service cost of approximately $41,300 which would be
borne by the town of Cheektowaga as a one-time payment. This estimate is
based on the assumption that payment will be made on February 1, 2011.
  This estimate, dated April 6, 2010 and intended for  use  only  during
the  2010  Legislative Session, is Fiscal Note No. 2010-131, prepared by
the Actuary for the New  York  State  and  Local  Employees'  Retirement
System.
