 AN ACT in relation to granting Barbara Juh Tier 5 status in the New York
 state and local employees' retirement 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, Barbara Juh,
 2 who is a retiree of the New York state and local employees' retirement
 3 system, with Tier 6 status, and who was employed part-time as a regis-
 4 tered nurse at the Adirondack Correctional Facility for the period
 5 beginning September 16, 2010 and ending December 16, 2012, and who has
 6 been employed full-time by the department of corrections and community
 7 supervision beginning December 17, 2012 and ending December 31, 2021,
 8 and who, for reasons not ascribable to her own negligence, failed to
 9 become a member of the New York state and local employees' retirement
 10 system on September 16, 2010, shall be deemed to have been a member of
 11 such retirement system with Tier 5 status on and after September 16,
 12 2010, if on or before 6 months after the effective date of this act, she
 13 shall file a written request to that effect with the state comptroller.
 14 Upon the granting of such retroactive membership, Barbara Juh shall not
 15 be granted a refund of any employee contributions made by her to the New
 16 York state and local employees' retirement system.
 17 § 2. Any past service costs incurred in implementing the provisions of
 18 this act shall be borne by the state of New York.
 19 § 3. This act shall take effect immediately.
 FISCAL NOTE.--Pursuant to Legislative Law, Section 50:
 This bill would provide Barbara Juh with a date of membership of
 September 16, 2010, their date of first employment with the Adirondack
 Correctional Facility, resulting in Tier 5 status in the New York State
 and Local Employees' Retirement System. Barbara Juh is currently a Tier

 will be made retroactive to their date of retirement. There will be no
 refund of member contributions.
 If this bill is enacted during the 2025 Legislative Session, there
 will be an immediate past service cost of approximately $17,000, which
 will be borne by the State of New York as a one-time payment. This esti-
 mate assumes that payment will be made on March 1, 2026.
