AN ACT to authorize John P. O'Leary to apply for retroactive  membership
  in the New York state and local employees' retirement system

  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,  John
P.    O'Leary  who  was employed as a county legislator by the county of
Westchester, a participating employer of the New York  state  and  local
employees'  retirement system, from January 1, 1976 until June 30, 1985,
and who submitted an application to join such retirement system in Janu-
ary 1976, and who was not deemed to have joined such system until  March
13,  1986,  while employed by the state Senate, and who, for reasons not
ascribable to his own negligence, was not deemed to have joined the  New
York  state  and  local employees' retirement system on January 1, 1976,
shall be deemed to have joined such retirement system on such  date,  if
on  or  before  the thirty-first of December next succeeding the date on
which it shall have become a law, he shall submit  to  the  state  comp-
troller  an  application  for such membership and proof of employment by
the county of Westchester from 1976 until 1985.  Upon  the  granting  of
retroactive  membership  in  the  New  York  state  and local employees'
retirement system pursuant to this section, John  P.  O'Leary  shall  be
deemed  to  be  a Tier II member of such retirement system, and shall be
entitled to all the rights and benefits of such a membership.
  S 2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no employee  contrib-
utions shall be returned to John P. O'Leary. Such employee contributions
shall  be  used  to  offset  any  past service costs incurred due to the
implementation of the provisions of this act.
  S 3. All past service costs of implementing the provisions of this act
shall be borne by the county of Westchester.
  S 4. This act shall take effect immediately.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.

A. 9125                             2

  FISCAL NOTE.--This bill would deem John P. O'Leary, a former member of
the New York State and  Local  Employees'  Retirement  System,  to  have
joined  such  system  on  January  1,  1976  thereby granting him Tier 2
membership. This will provide a benefit that was not otherwise payable.
  If  this bill is enacted, there will be an immediate past service cost
of approximately $59,800 which will be borne by Westchester County as  a
one-time  payment. This estimate is based on the assumption that payment
will be made on February 1, 2010.
  This estimate, dated March 27, 2009 and intended for use  only  during
the  2009  Legislative Session, is Fiscal Note No. 2009-195, prepared by
the Actuary for the New  York  State  and  Local  Employees'  Retirement
System.
