 IN SENATE

 ___________

 Introduced by Sen. O'MARA -- read twice and ordered printed, and when

 AN ACT in relation to granting retroactive tier II membership in the New
 York state and local police and fire retirement system to Cory M. Rose

 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 to the contrary,
 2 Cory M. Rose, a tier VI member of the New York state and local police
 3 and fire retirement system employed by the Horseheads village police
 4 department and who was previously employed as a part-time employee with
 5 the Herkimer county youth bureau program at the Mount Markham central
 6 school district and the village of West Winfield public works department
 7 from July 15, 2004, through 2005 and who, through no fault of his own
 8 and as an error or mistake by the Herkimer county youth bureau program
 9 in failing to properly inform Cory M. Rose of his eligibility to enroll
 10 in the New York state and local employees' retirement system, did not
 11 become a member of the New York state and local employees' retirement
 12 system on July 15, 2004, when he became eligible for membership in such
 13 system, shall be deemed to have a date of membership with the New York
 14 state and local police and fire retirement system of July 15, 2004, if
 15 he shall file an application therefore with the state comptroller within
 16 one year of the effective date of this act. Upon the receipt of such
 17 application, Cory M. Rose shall be granted tier II status in the New
 18 York state and local police and fire retirement system and shall be
 19 eligible for all the rights and benefits thereof.
 20 § 2. All past service costs of implementing the provisions of this act
 21 shall be borne by the Horseheads village police department, and there
 22 shall be no refund of member contributions to Cory M. Rose.
 23 § 3. This act shall take effect immediately.
 FISCAL NOTE.--Pursuant to Legislative Law, Section 50:
 This bill would grant Tier 2 status in the New York State and Local
 Police and Fire Retirement System (NYSLPFRS) to Cory M. Rose, a current
 Tier 6 member employed by the Horseheads village police department, by

 changing their date of membership to July 15, 2004. There will be no
 refund of member contributions.
 We estimate that the village of Horseheads' annual contributions will
 increase $9,500 beginning FYE 2027. Annual costs will vary as the bill-
 ing rates and salary of Cory M. Rose change.
 In addition, there will be an immediate past service cost of $2,980
 borne by the village of Horseheads as a one-time payment. This cost
 assumes that payment will be made on February 1, 2027.
