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

AN ACT to amend the retirement and social security law, in  relation  to
  authorizing  enrollment  in  the section 384-d retirement plan for all
  new members of 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:

  Section 1. The retirement and social security law is amended by adding
a new section 1201-a to read as follows:
  S  1201-A.  RETIREMENT  PLAN.  NOTWITHSTANDING  ANY  OTHER  LAW TO THE
CONTRARY, MEMBERS WHO FIRST BECOME MEMBERS OF THE  NEW  YORK  STATE  AND
LOCAL  POLICE  AND FIRE RETIREMENT SYSTEM ON OR AFTER JANUARY FIRST, TWO
THOUSAND FIFTEEN AND ARE EMPLOYED BY AN EMPLOYER  WHO  HAS  ELECTED  THE
BENEFITS  OF  SECTION  THREE HUNDRED EIGHTY-FOUR-D OF THIS CHAPTER SHALL
AUTOMATICALLY BE ENROLLED IN SUCH SECTION  THREE  HUNDRED  EIGHTY-FOUR-D
RETIREMENT  PLAN.  ANY  MEMBER  SO ENROLLED IN THE SECTION THREE HUNDRED
EIGHTY-FOUR-D RETIREMENT PLAN MAY THEREAFTER WITHDRAW FROM SUCH PLAN.
  S 2. This act shall take effect January 1, 2015.
  FISCAL NOTE.--Pursuant to Legislative Law, Section 50:
  This bill will provide automatic enrollment  into  the  provisions  of
section  384-d of the Retirement and Social Security Law for members who
first become members of the New York State and  Local  Police  and  Fire
Retirement  System  on  or  after January 1, 2015 who are employed by an
employer who has elected the  benefits  of  such  plan.  Any  member  so
enrolled may thereafter withdraw from such plan.
  If  this  bill is enacted, there would be no cost since the enrollment
into such plan is already provided by law if the member files within the
first year of employment.
  Summary of relevant resources:
  The membership data used in  measuring  the  impact  of  the  proposed
change  was  the same as that used in the March 31, 2013 actuarial valu-
ation.  Distributions and other statistics can  be  found  in  the  2013

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