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,
Danielle Galasso, an employee of the town of Oyster Bay and a member of
the New York state and local employees' retirement system, who was
employed by the town of Oyster Bay as a seasonal employee from July 10,
2003 through September 30, 2003 and who, for reasons not ascribable to
her own negligence, failed to become a member of such retirement system
during such employment by the town of Oyster Bay in 2003, shall be
deemed to have joined the New York state and local employees' retirement
system on July 10, 2003 and shall be granted Tier IV status in such
retirement system, if, within one year of the effective date of this
act, she shall file a written request to that effect with the state
comptroller.
S 2. All past service costs of implementing the provisions of this act
shall be borne by the town of Oyster Bay.
S 3. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no employee contrib-
utions shall be returned to Danielle Galasso.
S 4. This act shall take effect immediately.

her first date of employment with the town of Oyster Bay, thereby by
granting her Tier 4 status.
If this bill is enacted, we anticipate that there will be an increase
in the annual contributions of the town of Oyster Bay for the fiscal
year ending March 31, 2012 of approximately 3.0% of Danielle Galasso's
annual compensation.
Since the amount of this member's service credit is negligible, there
will be no past service cost.
This estimate, dated April 6, 2011 and intended for use only during
the 2011 Legislative Session, is Fiscal Note No. 2011-157, prepared by
the Actuary for the New York State and Local Employees' Retirement
System.
