BILL NUMBER:S5639 TITLE OF BILL: An act in relation to granting Marie Watkins Morey Tier I status in the New York state teachers' retirement system PURPOSE: The purpose of this legislation is to allow Marie Morey to retroactively transfer her membership in the New York State Teachers Retirement System from Tier 3 to Tier 1. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1 states Marie Morey, a current member of the New York State Teachers Retirement System was erroneously never included in the New York State Employees Retirement System when she worked for Middletown State Hospital in 1972. Since then she now has transferred her membership to the New York State Teachers Retirement System assigned to Tier 3 but should rather be assigned to Tier 1. JUSTIFICATION: This bill would allow Ms. Morey to be reinstated to Tier 1 where she would have been if she was entered into the retirement system when she first started her employment with the state in 1972.

S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 5639 2011-2012 Regular Sessions I N S E N A T E June 8, 2011 ___________ Introduced by Sen. CARLUCCI -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Civil Service and Pensions AN ACT in relation to granting Marie Watkins Morey Tier I status in the New York state teachers' retirement system THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Notwithstanding any inconsistent provisions of law, Marie Watkins Morey, who was employed by Middletown state hospital from May of 1972 to August of 1972, and for no reasons ascribable to her own negli- gence did not become a member of the New York state and local employees' retirement system at the time of her hiring and who is currently a Tier 3 member of the New York state teachers' retirement system, shall be deemed to have been a member of the New York state teachers' retirement system on such date she commenced employment with Middletown state hospital and shall be granted Tier 1 status with every right, benefit and privilege which would have been available to her on such date. S 2. This act shall take effect immediately. FISCAL NOTE.--Pursuant to Legislative Law, Section 50: This bill would allow Marie Watkins Morey, a member of the New York State Teachers' Retirement System with Tier 3 status, to be reclassified as a Tier 1 member with all rights, benefits, and privileges which would be available to her as a Tier 1 member. Her date of membership would be changed based upon her employment with Middletown State Hospital from May 1972 to August 1972. The cost of this benefit is equal to the increase in the present value of liabilities, which is estimated to be $72,000. The source of this estimate is Fiscal Note 2011-49 dated May 13, 2011 prepared by the Actuary of the New York State Teachers' Retirement System and is intended for use only during the 2011 Legislative Session. EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted. LBD10210-06-1
