AN  ACT  in relation to providing retirement credit to Mario C. Donofrio
  for military service during the Korean conflict

  THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section  1. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, Mario C. Dono-
frio, a retired member of  the  New  York  state  and  local  employees'
retirement  system,  having retired on December 31, 1997; and who served
in the United States military during the Korean conflict; shall be enti-
tled to receive credit for his time of Korean conflict service if, on or
before December 31, 2009 he: (1) shall file a  request  to  such  effect
with  the  head  of  the  New York state and local employees' retirement
system; and (2) shall pay to the New York  state  and  local  employees'
retirement  system an amount equal to the product of the number of years
of military service being claimed and three percent of his  annual  rate
of compensation immediately preceding his retirement.
  S  2. This act shall take effect immediately and the increase in bene-
fits shall begin on and after such effective date.
  FISCAL NOTE.--This bill would grant additional service credit to Mario
C. Donofrio, a retired member of the New York State and Local Employees'
Retirement System, for service rendered in the Korean conflict.
  If this bill is enacted, there will be an immediate past service  cost
of  approximately $26,000. Of this amount, Mr. Donofrio will be required
to pay $5,400, and the remaining $20,600 will be shared by the State  of
New  York  and all the participating employers in the New York State and
Local Employees' Retirement System.
  This estimate, dated March 26, 2009 and intended for use  only  during
the  2009  Legislative Session, is Fiscal Note No. 2009-192, prepared by
the Actuary for the New  York  State  and  Local  Employees'  Retirement
System.

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