 Introduced by M. of A. PHEFFER AMATO -- read once and referred to the
 Committee on Governmental Employees

 AN ACT in relation to authorizing Tier IV status in the New York state
 and local employees' retirement system for P'nina Gluck

 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 the law to the
 2 contrary, P'nina Gluck, an employee of the New York state assembly and a
 3 member the New York state and local employees' retirement system, who
 4 was employed on January 1, 2004 who for reasons not ascribable to her
 5 own negligence, failed to become a member of such retirement system in
 6 2004, shall be deemed to have joined the New York state and local
 7 employees' retirement system on the date January 1, 2004 and shall be
 8 granted Tier IV status in such retirement system, if, within one year of
 9 the effective date of this act, she shall file a written request with
 10 the state comptroller.
 11 § 2. No contributions made to the New York state and local employees'
 12 retirement system by P'nina Gluck shall be returned or refunded to her
 13 pursuant to this act.
 14 § 3. All past service costs of implementing the provision of this act
 15 shall be borne by the state of New York.
 16 § 4. 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 to P'nina Gluck, a current Tier 6 member
 employed by the New York state assembly, by changing their date of
 membership to January 1, 2004.
 There will be no refund of member contributions.
 We estimate that New York state's annual contributions will increase
 $9,700 beginning FYE 2027. Annual costs will vary as the billing rates
 and salary of P'nina Gluck change.
 In addition, there will be an immediate past service cost of $9,200
 borne by New York state as a one-time payment. This cost assumes that
 payment will be made on March 1, 2027.

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