 IN SENATE

 May 5, 2026
 ___________

 Introduced by Sen. WEBER -- read twice and ordered printed, and when

 AN ACT in relation to authorizing George Orfanoudakis to receive certain
 retroactive membership in the New York state and local police and fire
 retirement system

 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 George Orfanoudakis, currently a member of the New York state and local
 3 police and fire retirement system, who was employed by the North Rock-
 4 land Central School District on June 25, 2005 who, for reasons not
 5 ascribable to his own negligence, failed to become a member of the New
 6 York state and local employees' retirement system during his employment
 7 with the North Rockland Central School District, shall be deemed to have
 8 joined the New York state and local police and fire retirement system on
 9 the date June 25, 2005 and shall be granted Tier II status in such
 10 retirement system, if within one year of the effective date of this act,
 11 he shall file a written request with the state comptroller to such
 12 effect. Upon the granting of such retroactive membership, George Orfa-
 13 noudakis shall not be granted a refund of any employee contributions
 14 made by him to the New York state and local police and fire retirement
 15 system.
 16 § 2. All past service costs associated with the implementation of this
 17 act shall be borne by the state of New York.
 18 § 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 to George Orfanoudakis, a current Tier
 5 member employed by the Division of State Police, by changing their
 date of membership to June 25, 2005.
 There will be no refund of member contributions.
 We estimate that the state of New York's annual contributions will
 increase $12,000 beginning FYE 2027. Annual costs will vary as the bill-
 ing rates and salary of George Orfanoudakis change.

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

 In addition, there will be an immediate past service cost of $300
 borne by the state of New York as a one-time payment. This cost assumes
 that payment will be made on March 1, 2027.
