employees' retirement system on March 30, 1981 with tier 3 status, and
who, for reasons not ascribable to his own negligence did not join such
retirement system on March 30, 1976, shall be deemed to have joined such

December 31, 2009, he shall file a written request with the state comp-
troller to that effect.
S 2. All past service costs associated with the implementation of this
act shall be borne by the state of New York.
S 3. This act shall take effect immediately.
FISCAL NOTE.--Pursuant to Legislative Law, Section 50:
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 the 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. 2009-245, prepared by the
Actuary for the New York State & Local Employees' Retirement System.
