AN ACT granting retroactive tier I membership  in  the  New  York  state
  teachers' retirement system to Linda Frontera

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

  Section 1. Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision  of  law,  Linda
Frontera,  who was employed by the city of Lackawanna from June 30, 1969
to August 27, 1971 and by the county of Erie from May 30, 1972 to  Janu-
ary  2, 1974, and who is currently a member of the New York state teach-
ers' retirement system with tier II status, who through no fault of  her
own  negligence  did not become a member of the New York state and local
employees' retirement system in June 1969 when  first  employed  by  the
city of Lackawanna shall be deemed to have been a member of the New York
state  teachers'  retirement  system  on such date as she commenced such
employment and shall be granted tier I status, provided that an applica-
tion is filed with the head of the state retirement  system  within  one
year of the effective date of this act.
  S 2. Any costs incurred as a result of the enactment of this act shall
be  borne  by  the  employers of members of the New York state teachers'
retirement system.
  S 3. This act shall take effect immediately.
  FISCAL NOTE.--Pursuant to Legislative Law Section 50:
  This bill would allow Linda Frontera, a Tier II member of the New York
State Teachers' Retirement System,  to  be  reclassified  as  a  Tier  I
member.  Her  date of membership would be changed based upon her employ-
ment by the city of Lackawanna in 1969.
  The cost of this benefit is equal to the increase in the present value
of liabilities, which is estimated to be $57,000. This  cost  is  to  be
borne by employers of members of the New York State Teachers' Retirement
System.
  The  source  of  this  estimate is Fiscal Note 2009-50 dated April 21,
2009 prepared by the Actuary of the New York State Teachers'  Retirement
System and is intended for use only during the 2009 Legislative Session.
