AN ACT in relation to allowing John R. Panichi to join the special
retirement plan for sheriffs, undersheriffs and deputy sheriffs
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, John R. Pani-
chi, who is employed as a deputy sheriff in the county of Rensselaer,
and who is a member of the New York state and local employees' retire-
ment system, and who was eligible to make the election pursuant to
section 551 of the retirement and social security law to join the
special retirement plan for sheriffs, undersheriffs and deputy sheriffs
engaged in law enforcement activities, but who, for reasons not ascriba-
ble to his own negligence, failed to make such election to join such
special retirement plan, shall be eligible to individually join such
special retirement plan if on or before December 31, 2010 he files a
written request with the state comptroller to that effect.
S 2. All costs incurred by the implementation of this act shall be
borne by the county of Rensselaer.
S 3. This act shall take effect immediately.
FISCAL NOTE.-- In estimating this cost, we have assumed the following:
1. The legislation, when drafted, would affect only John R. Panichi,
who is currently covered by Article 15 of the Retirement and Social
Security Law.
2. There are no other deputy sheriffs who are similarly situated who
would benefit by reopening Section 553.
3. The legislation would specify that all costs incurred due to its
enactment would be borne by Rensselaer County:
If this legislation is enacted during the 2010 legislative session, we
anticipate that there would be an increase of approximately $4,800 in
the annual contributions of Rensselaer County for the fiscal year ending
March 31, 2011.
In addition to the annual contributions discussed above, there would
be an immediate past service cost of approximately $27,600, which would

TITLE OF BILL:
An act in relation to allowing John R. Panichi to join the special
retirement plan for sheriffs, undersheriffs and deputy sheriffs
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:
To allow John R. Panichi, a deputy sheriff in Rensselaer County, the
option to join the special retirement plan for sheriffs, undersheriffs
and deputy sheriffs.
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:
Section one provides John R. Panichi the ability to join the special
retirement plan on or before December 31, 2010. Section two provides
that all costs incurred as a result shall be borne by Rensselaer County.
Section three is the effective date.
JUSTIFICATION:
Pursuant to Retirement and Social Security Law Section 553, which is an
additional pension benefit for members of the optional twenty year
retirement plan, sheriffs deputies may elect such coverage within one
year of either joining the retirement system or being appointed to the
position. John R. Panichi, due to no negligence of his own, was unable
to join within this time period. Rensselaer County would like to extend
this option for Mr. Panichi and the county legislature has passed a
resolution to this effect. In the resolution, the county has agreed to

AN ACT in relation to allowing John R. Panichi to join the special
retirement plan for sheriffs, undersheriffs and deputy sheriffs
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, John R. Pani-
chi, who is employed as a deputy sheriff in the county of Rensselaer,
and who is a member of the New York state and local employees' retire-
ment system, and who was eligible to make the election pursuant to
section 551 of the retirement and social security law to join the

written request with the state comptroller to that effect.
S 2. All costs incurred by the implementation of this act shall be
borne by the county of Rensselaer.
S 3. This act shall take effect immediately.
FISCAL NOTE.--Pursuant to Legislative Law, Section 50:
This bill would allow Rensselaer County to reopen the provisions of
Section 553 of the Retirement and Social Security Law for John R. Pani-
chi.
If this legislation is enacted during the 2010 legislative session, we
anticipate that there would be an increase of approximately $4,800 in
the annual contributions of Rensselaer County for the fiscal year ending
March 31, 2011.
In addition to the annual contributions discussed above, there would
be an immediate past service cost of approximately $27,600, which would
be borne by Rensselaer County as a one-time payment. This estimate is
based on the assumption that payment would be made on February 1, 2011.
