 Introduced by M. of A. PRETLOW -- read once and referred to the Commit-
 tee on Mental Health

 AN ACT to amend the mental hygiene law, in relation to retirement bene-
 fits for certain direct care workers employed by not-for-profit office
 for people with developmental disabilities providers

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

 1 Section 1. The mental hygiene law is amended by adding a new section
 2 41.60 to read as follows:
 3 § 41.60 Additional expenditures related to retirement benefits.
 4 The office for people with developmental disabilities shall annually
 5 reimburse licensed not-for-profit corporations, which provide direct
 6 care to consumers of services approved by the office for people with
 7 developmental disabilities, for the cost of employer contributions to a
 8 retirement benefit fund governed by the provisions of the Federal
 9 Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. Such
 10 reimbursement shall commence on the first day of April of the calendar
 11 year following the submission by such corporation of the federal Inter-
 12 nal Revenue Service Form 5500 which documents that such employer
 13 contributions were made. Any such corporation may apply to the office
 14 for people with developmental disabilities for expedited reimbursement
 15 of such employer contributions upon demonstrating to such office that
 16 such payments must be made promptly, and that the corporation cannot
 17 reasonably make prompt payment. The office for people with developmental
 18 disabilities shall not reimburse any amount which exceeds ten percent of
 19 the employer's total payroll on December thirty-first of any year in
 20 which contributions are made.
 21 § 2. This act shall take effect on the first of April next succeeding
 22 the date on which it shall have become a law.
