AN ACT granting retroactive tier IV membership in the New York state and

  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,  Jill  Alix,  a
member of the New York state and local employees' retirement system, who
was  employed  on  June  20,  2008,  by the village of Green Island as a
recreation director, and  who  filed  membership  applications  in  such
system  on  June 20, 2008 which should have given her Tier IV status but
for reasons not ascribable to her own negligence and due to an  adminis-
trative error, the application was not processed in the usual manner and
therefore  not  processed until December 17, 2012, may be deemed to have
become a member of the New York state and  local  employees'  retirement
system on June 20, 2008.
  S  2.  Notwithstanding  any  other  provision of law, Chris Karwiel, a
member of the New York state and local employees' retirement system, who
was employed on July 19, 2002, by the  village  of  Green  Island  as  a
recreation  assistant  and  office  assistant,  and who filed membership
applications in such system on September  13,  2011  which  should  have
given  her  Tier  IV  status  but  for reasons not ascribable to her own
negligence and due to an administrative error, the application  was  not
processed  in the usual manner and therefore not processed until Septem-
ber 13, 2011, may be deemed to have become a  member  of  the  New  York
state and local employees' retirement system on July 19, 2002.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
                                                           LBD10734-02-3

S. 5565                             2                            A. 7459

  S  3.  Notwithstanding  any other provision of law, Jessica Strizzi, a
member of the New York state and local employees' retirement system, who
was employed on June 28, 2007, by the  village  of  Green  Island  as  a
recreation  assistant,  and  who  filed  membership applications in such
system  on  June 28, 2007 which should have given her Tier IV status but
for reasons not ascribable to her own negligence and due to an  adminis-
trative error, the application was not processed in the usual manner and
therefore not processed until July 9, 2012, may be deemed to have become
a member of the New York state and local employees' retirement system on
June 28, 2007.
  S  4. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, Taryn Ward, a member
of the New York state and local employees' retirement  system,  who  was
employed  on  May  27, 2008, by the village of Green Island as an office
assistant and member of the park staff, and who filed membership  appli-
cations in such system on July 19, 2012 which should have given her Tier
IV  status  but for reasons not ascribable to her own negligence and due
to an administrative error, the application was  not  processed  in  the
usual  manner  and  therefore  not processed until July 19, 2012, may be
deemed to have become a member of the New York state and  local  employ-
ees' retirement system on May 27, 2008.
  S 5. Any past service costs incurred in implementing the provisions of
this act shall be borne by the village of Green Island.
  S 6. This act shall take effect immediately.
  FISCAL NOTE--Pursuant to Legislative Law, Section 50:
  This  bill  will  deem  Jill Alix, Chris Karwiel, Jessica Strizzi, and
Taryn Ward, employees of the Village of Green Island, to become  Tier  4
members  of the New York State and Local Employees' Retirement System by
changing their dates of membership in the System to be  the  dates  they
first were employed by the Village of Green Island.
  If  this bill is enacted, we anticipate that there will be an increase
in the annual contributions of the Village of Green Island  of  4.1%  of
the  annual salary of Chris Karwiel (currently a tier 5 member) and 9.5%
of the salaries of Jill Alix, Jessica Strizzi, and Taryn Ward (currently
tier 6 members) for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014.
  In addition to the annual contributions discussed above, there will be
an immediate past service cost of approximately $2,000  which  would  be
borne  by  the Village of Green Island as a one-time payment. This esti-
mate is based on the assumption that payment will be made on February 1,
2014.
