1982,  who,  prior to such membership, was employed as a library aide by
the South Orangetown central school district during the 1971-1972 school
year, and who, for reasons not ascribable to her own negligence,  failed
to  become  a  member  of the New York state teachers' retirement system
during 1971, shall be deemed to have become a member of such  retirement
system on her first date of service during the 1971-1972 school year and
shall  be granted tier I status, if, on or before December 31, 2009, she
shall file a written request with the head of the New York state  teach-
ers' retirement system.
  S  2.  All  costs  of implementing the provisions of this act shall be
borne by the New York state teachers' retirement system.
  S 3. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no employee  contrib-
utions  shall  be  returned  to Dianne P. Grasso. Such employee contrib-
utions shall be used to offset any past service costs due to the  imple-
mentation of the provisions of this act.
  S 4. This act shall take effect immediately.

reclassified  as  a  Tier 1 member with all rights, benefits, and privi-
leges which would be available to her as a Tier 1 member.  Her  date  of
membership  would  be  changed  based upon her employment with the South
Orangetown Central School  District  during  the  1971-72  school  year.
