 AN ACT in relation to granting retroactive tier IV membership in the New
 York state and local employees' retirement system to Karen Siegel

 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 Karen Siegel, a tier VI member of the New York state and local employ-
 3 ees' retirement system employed by the South Orangetown Central School
 4 District and who was previously employed as a full-time employee at High
 5 Tor State Park from June 28, 1992 through September 6, 1993 and who,
 6 through no fault of her own, did not become a member of the New York
 7 state and local employees' retirement system on June 28, 1992 when she
 8 became eligible for membership in such system, shall be deemed to have a
 9 date of membership with the New York state and local employees' retire-
 10 ment system of June 28, 1992 if she shall file an application therefor
 11 with the state comptroller within one year of the effective date of this
 12 act. Upon the receipt of such application, Karen Siegel shall be granted
 13 tier IV status in the New York state and local employees' retirement
 14 system and shall be eligible for all the rights and benefits thereof.
 15 § 2. All past service costs of implementing the provisions of this act
 16 shall be borne by South Orangetown Central School District, and there
 17 shall be no refund of member contributions to Karen Siegel.
 18 § 3. This act shall take effect immediately.
 FISCAL NOTE.--Pursuant to Legislative Law, Section 50:
 This bill would grant Tier 4 status in the New York State and Local
 Employees' Retirement System (NYSLERS) to Karen Siegel, a current Tier 6

 S. 6861--A 2

 member employed by the South Orangetown Central School District, by
 changing their date of membership to June 28, 1992. There will be no
 refund of member contributions.
 We estimate that the South Orangetown Central School District's annual
 contributions will increase $6,400 beginning FYE 2027. Annual costs will
 vary as the billing rates and salary of Karen Siegel change.
 In addition, there will be an immediate past service cost of $35,300
 borne by the South Orangetown Central School District as a one-time
 payment. This cost assumes that payment will be made on February 1,
 2027.
