                                 BILL NUMBER:  S6078

 TITLE OF BILL :
An act in relation to granting Leonard Wayne Bourne tier 2 status in
the New York state and local employees' retirement system


 PURPOSE :
To grant Leonard Wayne Bourne retroactive membership with Tier II
status in the New York State and local retirement system.

 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :


 EXISTING LAW :
None.

 JUSTIFICATION :
Leonard Wayne Bourne started his employment with the Suffolk County
Department of Labor in May of 1976, as part of the CETA 6 program.  He
then became employed with the Public Administration Office within the
Suffolk County Department of Labor. Subsequently, Mr.  Bourne gained
employment in Suffolk County's Social Services division and then left
that post for a period of three years. Mr. Bourne again became
employed with Suffolk County Department of Social Services in 1984 and
remains employed at present. Although the New York State Retirement

System had granted Mr. Bourne the opportunity for retroactive
membership dating back to his original date of employment of May 3,
1976, the offer to provide him with coinciding tier status was not
extended. This bill would grant Mr. Bourne the opportunity to change
his status in the New York State Retirement system from Tier III to
Tier II, which he would have been entitled to in 1976.

 LEGISLATIVE HISTORY :
2005-06: S.7725
2007-08: S.4052

 FISCAL IMPLICATIONS :
This bill would grant Leonard Wayne Bourne Tier 2 status in the New
York State and Local Employees' Retirement System by changing his date
of membership to March 30, 1976. If this bill is enacted, we
anticipate that there will be an increase of approximately $1,350 in
the annual contributions of Suffolk County. In addition to annual
contributions discussed above, there will be an immediate past service
cost of approximately $106,000 which would be borne by New York State
as a one-time payment. This estimate is based on the assumption that
payment will be made on March 1, 2010. This estimate, dated May 11,
2009 and intended for use only during the 2009 Legislative Session, is
Fiscal Note No. 2000-245, prepared by the Actuary for the New York
State & Local Employees' Retirement System.

 EFFECTIVE DATE :
Immediately.
