AN ACT to authorize the city of Mount Vernon, in the county of Westches-
  ter, to  offer  certain  retirement  options  to  Christopher  Grieco,
  Wendell  Griffin,  Patsy  Leone and Jeremy Villanueva, police officers
  employed by such city

  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 to the contrary,
the  city of Mount Vernon, in the county of Westchester, a participating
employer in the New York state and  local  police  and  fire  retirement
system,  which  previously elected to offer the optional retirement plan
established pursuant to section 384-d of the retirement and social secu-
rity law to police officers employed by such city, is hereby  authorized
to  make  participation  in  such  plan available to Christopher Grieco,
Wendell Griffin, Patsy Leone  and  Jeremy  Villanueva,  police  officers
employed by the city of Mount Vernon, who, on the effective date of this
act  are covered under the provisions of section 375-i of the retirement
and social security law, and who, for reasons not  ascribable  to  their
own  negligence  failed  to  make a timely application to participate in
such optional retirement plan. The city of Mount Vernon may so elect  by
filing  with the state comptroller, on or before June 30, 2014, a resol-
ution of its legislative body together with certification that any  such
police officer did not bar himself or herself from participation in such
retirement  plan  as  a result of his or her own negligence. Thereafter,
any such police officer may elect to be covered  by  the  provisions  of
section  384-d  of  the retirement and social security law, and shall be
entitled to the full rights and benefits associated with coverage  under
such  section,  by  filing a request to that effect with the state comp-
troller on or before June 30, 2016.
  S 2. All costs associated with implementing the provisions of this act
shall be borne by the city of Mount Vernon.
  S 3. This act shall take effect immediately.
