 AN ACT to authorize Mike Hartnett to apply for military service credit
 in the New York city fire pension fund

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

 1 Section 1. Notwithstanding subdivision 5 of section 1000 of the
 2 retirement and social security law, Mike Hartnett, a retired member of
 3 the New York city fire department, who was on active duty in the United
 4 States Army from July 7, 1964 until July 7, 1967, shall be eligible to
 5 apply for military service credit, to be applied retroactively to the
 6 date of his retirement, in the New York city fire pension fund as other-
 7 wise provided pursuant to the provisions of section 1000 of the retire-
 8 ment and social security law. To obtain such credit Mr. Hartnett shall
 9 pay the New York city fire pension fund a sum equal to the product of
 10 the number of years of military service he served, and three percent of
 11 Mr. Hartnett's compensation earned during the last twelve consecutive
 12 months of credited service preceding the date of his retirement. Such
 13 military service credit shall be applied retroactively to the date of
 14 Mr. Hartnett's retirement for purposes of computing his retirement bene-
 15 fit. Any increase in his retirement allowance resulting from such recom-
 16 putation shall be payable retroactively to the date of his retirement,
 17 less any retirement benefits previously paid.
 18 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
 FISCAL NOTE.--Pursuant to Legislative Law, Section 50:
 SUMMARY: This proposed legislation would allow Mike Hartnett, who
 retired from the New York City Fire Pension Fund (FIRE) with an Accident
 Disability Retirement, to purchase approximately seven months of mili-
 tary service credit, and to receive the resulting increase in retirement
 benefits retroactive to his original retirement date.
