AN ACT granting retroactive tier I membership in the New York state  and
  local employees' retirement system to Arlene Samos

  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, Arlene Samos, a
member of the New York state and local employees' retirement system, who
was employed on October 1, 1965, by the  county  of  Suffolk,  who,  for
reasons  not ascribable to her own negligence, did not file a membership
application in such system until February 5, 1991, which gave  her  Tier
IV  status  instead  of Tier I status, where she would have been had she
been able to file a membership application when she became  a  permanent
employee  on  October  1, 1965, may be deemed to have become a member of
the New York state and local employees' retirement system on October  1,

comptroller a written request to that effect. Upon the granting of  such
retroactive  membership,  Arlene  Samos shall not be granted a refund of
any employee contribution made by her to the New York  state  and  local
employees' retirement system.
  S 2. Any past service costs incurred in implementing the provisions of
this act shall be borne by the state.
  S 3. This act shall take effect immediately.
  FISCAL  NOTE.--  This bill would deem Arlene D. Samos, a member of the

member  of  such  system on October 1, 1965, thereby granting her Tier 1
status. There will be no return of member  contributions  to  Arlene  D.
Samos.
  If  this bill is enacted, we anticipate that there will be an increase
of approximately $5,400 in the annual contributions of the Suffolk Coun-
ty OTB Corporation for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2011.
  In addition to the annual contributions discussed above, there will be
an immediate past service cost of approximately $60,800 which  would  be
