 AN ACT in relation to granting Tier I status in the New York  state  and
   local employees' retirement system to Thomas Amodeo
 
   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, Thomas  Amodeo,
 who was first employed as a Supervisor at the City of Buffalo Department
 of  Special  Projects  in the administration of the Summer youth program
 commencing at the start of the summer semester of 1970 and  was  thereby
 eligible  to  participate  in  the  New  York state and local employees'
 retirement system, and who is currently a judge and a member of the  New
 York  state and local employees' retirement system, who through no fault
 of his own did not become a member of  the  New  York  state  and  local
 employees'  retirement  system when he was first employed by the City of
 Buffalo Department of Special Projects in 1970, shall be granted  retro-
 active  membership in the New York state and local employees' retirement
 system with Tier I status, if within one year from the effective date of
 this act he shall make  a  written  application  to  that  effect,  duly
 executed and filed with such retirement system.
   § 2. All costs associated with the implementation of this act shall be
 borne  by  the  employers  of  members  of  the New York state and local
 employees' retirement system.
   § 3. This act shall take effect immediately.
   FISCAL NOTE. -- Pursuant to Legislative Law, Section 50:
   This bill will grant Tier 1 status in the New  York  State  and  Local
 Employees'  Retirement  System to Thomas Amedeo, by changing his date of
 membership to July 1, 1970, his first date of employment by the city  of
 Buffalo  Department of Special Projects. He currently is a Tier 3 member
 employed by the New York State Office of Court Administration.  Further,
 tier 3 member contributions will be refunded to Thomas Amodeo.
 
  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.

 S. 6697                             2
 
   If this legislation is enacted during the 2017 legislative session, we
 anticipate  that  there  will be an increase of approximately $11,000 in
 the annual contributions of New York State for the  fiscal  year  ending
 March  31,  2018.  In  future  years, this cost will vary as his billing
 rates and salaries change.
   In addition to the annual contributions discussed above, there will be
 a  one-time  past  service  cost  of $285,000 which will be borne by the
 state of New York and the participating employers in the New York  State
 and Local Employees' Retirement System.
   Summary of relevant resources:
   The  membership  data  used  in  measuring  the impact of the proposed
 change was the same as that used in the March 31, 2016  actuarial  valu-
 ation.    Distributions  and  other  statistics can be found in the 2016
 Report of the  Actuary  and  the  2016  Comprehensive  Annual  Financial
 Report.
   The  actuarial  assumptions and methods used are described in the 2015
 and 2016 Annual Report to the Comptroller on Actuarial Assumptions,  and
 the  Codes  Rules  and  Regulations  of the State of New York: Audit and
 Control.

 New York State and Local  Retirement  System  Financial  Statements  and
 Supplementary Information.

 fication Standards to render the actuarial opinion contained herein.
   This  estimate,  dated  June 6, 2017, and intended for use only during
 the 2017 Legislative Session, is Fiscal No. 2017-114,  prepared  by  the
 Actuary for the New York State and Local Retirement System.
