 AN ACT granting retroactive retirement service credit to David M. Sturtz

 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 law, David M.
 2 Sturtz, currently a village of Liverpool police officer and member of
 3 the New York state and local police and fire retirement system covered
 4 by section 384-d of the retirement and social security law, who between
 5 October 14, 2002 and April 12, 2011 was employed by the Onondaga county
 6 sheriff's department where he was a member of the New York state and
 7 local employees' retirement system, and who, for reasons not ascribable
 8 to his own negligence, was not granted service credit under section
 9 384-d of the retirement and social security law for his period of
 10 employment with the Onondaga county sheriff's department, shall be
 11 granted such service credit under section 384-d of the retirement and
 12 social security law and shall be entitled to the full rights and bene-
 13 fits associated with coverage under such section, provided a request to
 14 that effect is filed with the state comptroller within one year from the
 15 effective date of this act. Prior to David M. Sturtz submitting such
 16 request, he shall first file an application for transfer of membership
 17 with the New York state and local employees' retirement system. Upon the
 18 completion of such transfer, David M. Sturtz shall not be granted a
 19 refund of any employee contributions made by him to the New York state
 20 and local employees' retirement system.
 21 § 2. All past services costs associated with the implementation of
 22 this act shall be borne by the village of Liverpool.
 23 § 3. This act shall take effect immediately.
 FISCAL NOTE.--Pursuant to Legislative Law, Section 50:
 This bill would grant service credit under section 384-d of the
 Retirement and Social Security Law (RSSL) to David M. Sturtz, a current

 A. 7471 2

 member of the New York State and Local Police and Fire Retirement System
 (NYSLPFRS) employed by the Village of Liverpool, for the period of Octo-
 ber 14, 2002 through April 12, 2011, during which time they were
 employed by the Onondaga County sheriff's department. Currently, deputy
 sheriff service is not creditable in a NYSLPFRS twenty-year police
 retirement plan.
 If this bill is enacted during the 2025 Legislative Session, we antic-
 ipate that there will be an increase of approximately $2,000 in the
 annual contributions of the Village of Liverpool for the fiscal year
 ending March 31, 2026. In future years this cost will vary as the bill-
 ing rates and salary of David M. Sturtz change.
 In addition to the annual contributions discussed above, there will be
 an immediate past service cost of approximately $233,000 which will be
 borne by the Village of Liverpool as a one-time payment. This estimate
 assumes that payment will be made on February 1, 2026.
 David M. Sturtz must transfer the service credit earned while employed
 by the Onondaga County sheriff's department to the NYSLPFRS before the
 service credit can be granted under section 384-d of the RSSL.
