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

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.--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.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
