 AN ACT to authorize the city of Binghamton to offer an optional  twenty-
   five year retirement plan to firefighter Scott Pavlick
 
   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 Binghamton, in the county of Broome, a participating employ-
 er in the New York state and local police and  fire  retirement  system,
 which  previously elected to offer the optional twenty-five year retire-
 ment plan, established pursuant to section 384  of  the  retirement  and
 social  security  law,  to firefighters employed by such city, is hereby
 authorized to  make  participation  in  such  plan  available  to  Scott
 Pavlick,  a  firefighter  employed  by  the city of Binghamton, who, for
 reasons not ascribable to his own negligence, failed to  make  a  timely
 application  to participate in such optional twenty-five year retirement
 plan. The city of Binghamton may so elect by filing with the state comp-
 troller, within nine months of the effective date of this act, a  resol-
 ution  of  its  own common council 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 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 one year of the
 effective date of this act.
   § 2. All employer past service costs associated with implementing  the
 provisions  of this act shall be borne by the city of Binghamton and may
 be amortized over a ten year period.
   § 3. This act shall take effect immediately.
   FISCAL NOTE.--Pursuant to Legislative Law, Section 50:
 
  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.
                                                            LBD08984-02-3
