   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 Rensselaer, in the county  of  Rensselaer,  a  participating
 employer  in  the  New  York  state and local police and fire retirement
 system, which previously elected  to  offer  the  optional  twenty  year
 retirement plan, established pursuant to section 384-d of the retirement
 and social security law, to firefighters employed by such city, is here-
 by  authorized  to  make participation in such plan available to William
 Schumaker, a firefighter employed by the city of Rensselaer with a start
 date of October 10, 1996, who, for reasons not  ascribable  to  his  own
 negligence,  failed  to make a timely application to participate in such
 optional twenty year retirement plan. The  city  of  Rensselaer  may  so
 elect  by  filing with the state comptroller, within six months from the
 effective date of this act, a resolution of its local city common  coun-
 cil  together  with  certification  that  such  firefighter  did not bar
 himself from participation in such retirement plan as a  result  of  his
 own  negligence. Thereafter, such firefighter may elect to be covered by
 the provisions of section 384-d and 384-e 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 comptroller within  the  effective  date  of  such
 resolution.
   §  2.  Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, the
 city of Rensselaer, in the county of Rensselaer, a participating employ-
 er in the New York state and local police and  fire  retirement  system,
 which  previously  elected  to offer the optional twenty year retirement
 plan, established pursuant to section 384-d of the retirement and social
 security law, to firefighters employed by such city, is  hereby  author-
 ized  to  make  participation in such plan available to Mark Hennessy, a
 firefighter employed by the city of Rensselaer  with  a  start  date  of
