AN  ACT to authorize the designated beneficiary or beneficiaries of John
  E.  Johnson to receive a death benefit equal to three times his salary
  without reduction based on mortality

  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, the
beneficiary or beneficiaries of John E. Johnson, who was a member of the
New York  state and local employees' retirement system and was  employed
by  the county of Clinton upon his death on February 18, 2004 at the age
of 66 years, shall be entitled to receive a death benefit equal to  such
member's  salary  multiplied  by  three,  plus  the member's accumulated
contributions, if, on or before December 31, 2009, such  beneficiary  or
beneficiaries  shall  file  an application therefor with the state comp-
troller.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
  FISCAL NOTE.--This bill will entitle the estate of John E. Johnson,  a
former employee of the State of New York as well as Clinton County, to a
death  benefit  of  three  times  salary, plus Mr. Johnson's accumulated
contributions, without any reduction for age.
  If this bill were enacted, we anticipate that there will be an immedi-
ate past service cost of approximately $96,700, which will be shared  by
the  State  of  New  York and all the participating employers of the New
York State and Local Employees' Retirement System.
  This estimate, dated January 28,  2009,  and  intended  for  use  only
during  the  2009  Legislative  Session,  is  Fiscal  Note  No. 2009-88,
prepared by the Actuary for the New  York  State  and  Local  Employees'
Retirement System.
