AN  ACT in relation to service credit for time served in the Cadet Nurse
  Corps for members of a public retirement system

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

  Section  1.  Notwithstanding the provisions of any other law, a member
of a retirement system or pension plan administered by the state or  any
of  its  political subdivisions may receive credit for service rendered,
prior to last joining such system or plan, in the Cadet Nurse  Corps  of
the United States pursuant to the United States Cadet Nurse Corps Act of
June 15, 1943.
  S 2. The amount of credit for such service shall be determined accord-
ing  to  such system's or plan's rules and regulations regarding service
credit, with the proviso that in no case shall the number  of  years  of
service  credited  pursuant to this act be more than the number of years
of credited New York state service.
  S 3. The service credit granted pursuant to this act shall  constitute
credited  service  for the sole purpose of computing the pension payable
upon retirement for service. Under no circumstances  shall  the  service
credited  pursuant  to  this act be used either in determining the total
length of service credit for  purposes  of  eligibility  for  a  service
retirement  benefit  or  in computing final average salary.  However, no
credit shall be allowed for any service for which the member is  receiv-
ing  or  will  be entitled to receive a benefit from any other public or
private retirement system or plan in this state or any  other  state  or
from the federal government.
  S  4. To obtain credit for such service, a member shall file an appli-
cation with the comptroller or administrative head  of  such  system  or
plan  prior  to retirement setting forth the service for which credit is
sought and in addition file proof of such service as shall  be  required
by such system or plan.
  S 5. This act shall take effect June 30, 2009.
