THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of law, Geral-
dine A. Klapp, a retired member of the New York state and local employ-
ees' retirement system with tier IV status, who was formerly employed by
Erie #1 BOCES on a part-time basis from November 4, 1966 to February 10,
1967, who, for reasons not ascribable to her own negligence, did not
become a member of the New York state and local employees' retirement
system during such period; and who was a career employee at Erie #1
BOCES, shall be deemed to have become a member of such retirement system
as of November 4, 1966 with tier I status, and shall have her retirement
benefit recalculated and paid retroactive to her date of retirement, if
on or before December 31, 2009, she files a written request for such
status with the state comptroller.
S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
FISCAL NOTE.--Pursuant to Legislative Law, Section 50:
This bill would grant Tier 1 status in the New York State and Local
Employees' Retirement System to retiree Geraldine A. Klapp, by deeming
her to have become a member of such System on November 4, 1966. Her
pension will be recalculated as of her date of retirement.
If this bill is enacted, there will be an immediate past service cost
