  for military service during the Korean conflict

  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, Mario C.  Dono-
frio,  a  retired  member  of  the  New  York state and local employees'
retirement system, having retired on December 31, 1997; and  who  served
in the United States military during the Korean conflict; shall be enti-
tled to receive credit for his time of Korean conflict service if, on or
before  December  31,  2009  he: (1) shall file a request to such effect
with the head of the New York  state  and  local  employees'  retirement
system;  and  (2)  shall  pay to the New York state and local employees'
retirement system an amount equal to the product of the number of  years
of  military  service being claimed and three percent of his annual rate
of compensation immediately preceding his retirement.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately and the increase in  bene-
fits shall begin on and after such effective date.
  FISCAL NOTE.--Pursuant to Legislative Law, Section 50:
  This  bill would grant additional service credit to Mario C. Donofrio,
a retired member of the New York State and Local  Employees'  Retirement
System, for service rendered in the Korean conflict.
  If  this bill is enacted, there will be an immediate past service cost
of approximately $26,000. Of this amount, Mr. Donofrio will be  required
to  pay $5,400, and the remaining $20,600 will be shared by the State of
New York and all the participating employers in the New York  State  and
Local Employees' Retirement System.
  This  estimate,  dated March 26, 2009 and intended for use only during
the 2009 Legislative Session, is Fiscal Note No. 2009-192,  prepared  by
the  Actuary  for  the  New  York  State and Local Employees' Retirement
System.
