AN ACT to authorize the county of Monroe to  offer  an  optional  twenty
  year  retirement plan to law enforcement officers Jason Hendel, Chris-
  topher Fay, Gregory Prokop and Carl Zimmerman

  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 to the contrary,
the county of Monroe, a participating employer in the New York state and
local  employees'  retirement  system, which previously elected to offer
additional pension benefits for members  of  the  optional  twenty  year
retirement  plan, established pursuant to sections 552, 553 and subdivi-
sion b of section 553 of the retirement  and  social  security  law,  to
sheriffs,  undersheriffs and deputy sheriffs employed by such county, is
hereby authorized to make participation in such plan available to  Jason
Hendel, Christopher Fay, Gregory Prokop and Carl Zimmerman, deputy sher-
iffs  employed  by  the Monroe County Sheriff's office, who, for reasons
not ascribable to their own negligence, failed to make a timely applica-
tion to participate in such optional twenty year  retirement  plan.  The
county  of  Monroe may so elect by filing with the state comptroller, on
or before December 31, 2012, a resolution of its local legislative  body
together  with certification that such deputy sheriffs did not bar them-
selves from participation in such retirement plan as a result  of  their
own negligence. Thereafter, such deputy sheriffs may elect to be covered
by  the provisions of sections 552, 553 and subdivision b of section 553
of the retirement and social security law, and shall be entitled to full
rights and benefits associated with coverage  under  such  sections,  by
filing  a request to that effect with the state comptroller on or before
June 30, 2013.
  S 2. All employer part service costs associated with implementing  the
provisions  of  this  act shall be borne by the county of Monroe and the
past service costs associated with this act may be  paid  in  ten  equal
annual installments.
  S 3. This act shall take effect immediately.
