 AN ACT granting retroactive membership with Tier II status in the New
 York state and local police and fire retirement system to Ethan
 Czyzewski

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, Ethan
 2 Czyzewski, an employee of the state police and a member of the New York
 3 state and local police and fire retirement system, who for reasons not
 4 ascribable to his own negligence, failed to become a member of one of
 5 the state of New York's retirement systems during his employment with
 6 the Galway Central School District on June 26, 2006, shall be deemed to
 7 have joined the New York state and local police and fire retirement
 8 system during 2006 and shall be granted Tier II status in such retire-
 9 ment system, if, within one year of the effective date of this act, he
 10 shall file a written request with the state comptroller.
 11 § 2. No contribution made to any retirement system by Ethan Czyzewski
 12 shall be returned or refunded to him pursuant to this act.
 13 § 3. All service costs of implementing the provisions of this act
 14 shall be borne by the state of New York.
 15 § 4. This act shall take effect immediately.
 FISCAL NOTE.--Pursuant to Legislative Law, Section 50:
 This bill would provide Ethan Czyzewski with a date of membership of
 June 26, 2006, their date of first employment with the Galway Central
 School District, resulting in Tier 2 status in the New York State and
 Local Police and Fire Retirement System. Ethan Czyzewski is currently a
 Tier 6 member employed by the Division of State Police. There will be no
 refund of member contributions.
 If this bill is enacted during the 2025 Legislative Session, we antic-
 ipate that there will be an increase of approximately $14,000 in the

 annual contributions of the state of New York for the fiscal year ending
 March 31, 2026. In future years this cost will vary as the billing rates
 and salary of Ethan Czyzewski change.
 In addition to the annual contributions discussed above, there will be
 an immediate past service cost of approximately $0 which will be borne
 by the State of New York as a one-time payment. This estimate assumes
 that payment will be made on March 1, 2026.

 of the proposed change nor is it intended to serve as a substitute for
 the professional judgment of an attorney.

 during the 2025 Legislative Session, is Fiscal Note No. 2025-63. As
