AN ACT in relation to granting full duty police officer status  to  John
  O'Neill

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

  Section 1. Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary,  John
O'Neill,  a  member  of  the  New  York  state and local police and fire
retirement system, who is employed as a police  officer  by  the  Nassau
county  police department, who received a serious injury while arresting
an individual on duty, and who filed a timely application for accidental
disability retirement with such retirement system, shall be deemed to be
a full duty police officer for the purposes of determining his  applica-
tion for accidental disability retirement.
  S  2.  Any costs attributable to this act shall be borne by the county
of Nassau.
  S 3. This act shall take effect immediately, and shall  be  deemed  to
have  been  in  full force and effect on the date John O'Neill initially
made application for accidental disability retirement with the New  York
state and local police and fire retirement system.
  FISCAL  NOTE.--This  bill  would deem John K. O'Neill, a member of the
New York State and Local Police and Fire Retirement System, to be a full
duty police officer for the purposes of determining his eligibility  for
an accidental disability.
  If  this  bill  is  enacted  and Officer John K. O'Neill is ultimately
granted an accidental disability, there will be a cost of  approximately
$288,000  which  will  be  borne by Nassau County as a one-time payment.
This estimate is based on the  assumption  that  payment  will  be  made
February 1, 2010.
  This  estimate,  dated  February  10,  2009, and intended for use only
during the 2009  Legislative  Session,  is  Fiscal  Note  No.  2009-107,
prepared by the Actuary for the New York State and Local Police and Fire
Retirement System.
