 ___________

 Introduced by Sen. WEBB -- read twice and ordered printed, and when

 AN ACT to authorize the city of Binghamton to offer an optional retire-
 ment plan to firefighter David Edwards

 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 to the contrary,
 2 the city of Binghamton, in the county of Broome, a participating employ-
 3 er in the New York state and local police and fire retirement system,
 4 which previously elected to offer the optional one-sixtieths after twen-
 5 ty-five years of total creditable service, established pursuant to
 6 subdivision f of section 384 of the retirement and social security law,
 7 to firefighters employed by such city who are covered by section 384 of
 8 the retirement and social security law, is hereby authorized to make
 9 participation in such plan available to David Edwards, a firefighter
 10 employed by the city of Binghamton, who, for reasons not ascribable to
 11 his own negligence, failed to make a timely application to participate
 12 in such optional one-sixtieths for his twenty-five year retirement plan.
 13 The city of Binghamton may so elect by filing with the state comp-
 14 troller, within nine months of the effective date of this act, a resol-
 15 ution of its own common council together with certification that such
 16 firefighter did not bar himself from participation in such retirement
 17 plan as a result of his own negligence. Thereafter, such firefighter may
 18 elect to be covered by the provisions of subdivision f of section 384 of
 19 the retirement and social security law, and shall be entitled to the
 20 full rights and benefits associated with coverage under such section, by
 21 filing a request to that effect with the state comptroller within one
 22 year of the effective date of this act.
 23 § 2. All employer past service costs associated with implementing the
 24 provisions of this act shall be borne by the city of Binghamton and may
 25 be amortized over a ten-year period.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.

 FISCAL NOTE. -- Pursuant to Legislative Law, Section 50:
 This bill would allow the City of Binghamton to reopen the provisions
 of §384.f. of the Retirement and Social Security Law (RSSL) for fire-
 fighter David Edwards, who is currently covered under §384 of the RSSL.
 If this bill is enacted during the 2025 Legislative Session, we antic-
 ipate that there will be an
