 16 sections 552 and 553 of the retirement and social security law and shall
 17 be entitled to the full rights and benefits associated with coverage
 18 under such section by filing a request to that effect with the state
 19 comptroller within eighteen months of the effective date of this act.
 20 § 3. All employer past service costs associated with the implementa-
 21 tion of this act shall be borne by the county of Monroe and may be amor-
 22 tized over a period of five years.
 23 § 4. This act shall take effect immediately.
