AN  ACT  to amend the retirement and social security law, in relation to
  public officers

  THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. The retirement and social security law is amended by adding
a new section 115-a to read as follows:
  S 115-A. PUBLIC OFFICERS.  NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF LAW,
FOR PURPOSES OF THIS ARTICLE, ONLY THE FOLLOWING PERSONS SHALL BE DEEMED
TO  BE  PUBLIC  OFFICERS: (A) EVERY OFFICER FOR WHOM ALL THE ELECTORS OF
THE STATE ARE ENTITLED TO VOTE, MEMBERS OF THE LEGISLATURE, AND JUSTICES
OF  THE  SUPREME  COURT,  EXCEPT  UNITED  STATES  SENATORS,  MEMBERS  OF
CONGRESS,  AND  ELECTORS  FOR PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES; AND (B) EVERY OFFICER FOR WHOM THE ELECTORS OF A PORTION ONLY OF
THE STATE, OR OF A POLITICAL SUBDIVISION OR MUNICIPAL CORPORATION OF THE
STATE, ARE ENTITLED TO VOTE. EVERY PERSON WHO HAS  BEEN  APPOINTED,  BUT
NOT  ELECTED,  TO  A STATE OR LOCAL OFFICE OTHER THAN THOSE DESCRIBED IN
THIS SECTION, SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO BE A PUBLIC OFFICER.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
  FISCAL NOTE. -- Pursuant to legislative law, section 50:
  This bill would define public officer to include  only  elected  offi-
cers.    In  so  doing,  appointed  officers  would  have to satisfy the
employee/independent contractor requirements in order to become  members
of the New York State and Local Employees' Retirement System.
  If  this  bill  is  enacted, we anticipate that there would be a small
annual administrative cost to the New York State  and  Local  Employees'
Retirement  System  and  the  New  York  State and Local Police and Fire
Retirement System.
  This estimate, dated January 4, 2010, and intended for use only during
the 2010 Legislative Session, is Fiscal Note No. 2010-1, prepared by the
Actuary for the New York State and Local Employees' Retirement System.
