       Introduced  by  Sen.  LANZA  -- read twice and ordered printed, and when
         printed to be committed to the Committee on Civil Service and Pensions
       AN ACT to grant Normajean Cesario a retroactive system  membership  date
         and  tier  I status in the New York state and local employees' retire-
         ment system
         THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
       BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
    1    Section  1.  Notwithstanding  any  other  provision  of law, Normajean
    2  Cesario, an active member of the New York  state  and  local  employees'
    3  retirement  system  with  Tier  IV status, who was first employed by New
    4  York city health and hospitals corporation as a nurse from July 10, 1967
    5  to February 1969 and who, for reasons not ascribable to her  own  negli-
    6  gence, failed to become a member of the New York city employees' retire-
    7  ment  system while so employed by the New York city health and hospitals
    8  corporation, shall be deemed to have joined the New York state and local
    9  employees' retirement system on July 10, 1967 with Tier I status, if, on
   10  or before December 31, 2009, she shall file a written application there-
   11  for with the state comptroller.
   12    S 2. No contributions made to the New York state and local  employees'
   13  retirement  system  by  Normajean Cesario shall be returned to her. Such
   14  employee contributions shall be used to offset  any  past  service  cost
   15  incurred due to the implementation of the provisions of this act.
   16    S  3.  All  costs  of implementing the provisions of this act shall be
   17  borne by the state of New York.
   18    S 4. This act shall take effect immediately.
         FISCAL NOTE.--Pursuant to Legislative Law, Section 50:
         This bill would grant Normajean Cesario Tier 1 status in the New  York
       State  and  Local  Employees'  Retirement System by changing her date of
       membership to July 10, 1967. There will be no refund of member  contrib-
       utions.
        EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                             [ ] is old law to be omitted.
                                                                  LBD07391-02-9
       S. 1813                             2
         If  this bill is enacted, we anticipate that there will be an increase
       of approximately $2,200 in the annual contributions of the State of  New
       York for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2010.
         In addition to the annual contributions discussed above, there will be
       an  immediate past service cost of approximately $106,000 which would be
       borne by the State of New York as a one-time payment. This  estimate  is
       based on the assumption that payment will be made on March 1, 2010.
         This estimate, dated January 30, 2009 and intended for use only during
       the  2009  Legislative Session, is Fiscal Note No. 2009-125, prepared by
       the Actuary for the New York State & Local Employees' Retirement System.
