 STATE OF NEW YORK
 ________________________________________________________________________

 10847

 IN ASSEMBLY

 April 6, 2026
 ___________

 Introduced by M. of A. GRIFFIN -- read once and referred to the Commit-
 tee on Governmental Employees

 AN ACT to amend the retirement and social security law, in relation to
 authorizing the transfer of memberships for certain members of the New
 York state and local police and fire retirement system to the New York
 state and local employees' retirement system

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

 1 Section 1. Section 384-d of the retirement and social security law is
 2 amended by adding a new subdivision z to read as follows:
 3 z. Any member currently enrolled pursuant to this section and who
 4 previously had a membership with the New York state and local employees'
 5 retirement system may elect to retroactively transfer their membership
 6 in the New York state and local police and fire retirement system to the
 7 New York state and local employees' retirement system.
 8 § 2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, none
 9 of the provisions of this act shall be subject to section 25 of the
 10 retirement and social security law.
 11 § 3. This act shall take effect immediately.
 FISCAL NOTE.--Pursuant to Legislative Law, Section 50:
 This bill would allow active members of the New York State and Local
 Police and Fire Retirement System (NYSLPFRS) to retroactively transfer
 all service credit to prior membership in the New York State and Local
 Employees' Retirement System (NYSLERS). To transfer, the member must be
 covered by section 384-d of the retirement and social security law
 (RSSL). Active membership in NYSLERS is not required.
 Insofar as this bill affects NYSLERS, the cost will depend upon the
 applicant's age, service, salary, plan, and any benefit type otherwise
 payable.
 The provisions of section 25 of the RSSL shall not apply. All costs
 will be shared by the state of New York and all participating employers
 in NYSLERS and spread over future billing cycles.
 We anticipate additional administrative costs to implement the
 provisions of this legislation.

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

 be readily determined. There are approximately 26,000 active members
 under RSSL section 384-d as of March 31, 2025.
