BY  RULE  OR  REGULATION. NOTWITHSTANDING THE PROVISIONS HEREOF, NO SUCH
DOCUMENT SHALL BE DEEMED FILED OR MONEYS DEPOSITED WITH  THE  SYSTEM  ON
THE  DAY OF MAILING UNLESS ACTUALLY RECEIVED BY THE RETIREMENT SYSTEM AS
A RESULT OF SUCH MAILING.
  S 3. Subdivision 19 of section 508 of the education law, as amended by
chapter 248 of the laws of 2003, is amended to read as follows:
  19. Whenever a statute requires that  a  document  must  be  filed  or
moneys  deposited  with the system within a prescribed period of time or
by a specified date in order for a member to  be  eligible  for  service
credit  or  a benefit from the system the document shall be deemed filed
or the moneys deposited with the system on  the  day  they  are  [mailed
through]   CLEARLY  POSTMARKED  BY  the  United  States  postal  service
[provided the mailing is by registered or certified mail or  such  other
equivalent  service provided by the United States postal service] as the
retirement board may specifically permit by rule or regulation. Notwith-
standing the provisions hereof, no such document shall be  deemed  filed
or moneys deposited with the system on the day of mailing unless actual-
ly received by the retirement system as a result of such mailing.
  S 4. This act shall take effect immediately.
  FISCAL NOTE.--Pursuant to Legislative Law, Section 50:
  This  bill  would  amend  certain  filing requirements of the New York
State and Local Employees' Retirement System  (ERS)  and  the  New  York
State  and Local Police and Fire Retirement System (PFRS) by setting the
date of filing as the date of postmark for any document that has  to  be
filed,  or  payment  that has to be made by a specified date or within a
prescribed time period.
  If this bill is enacted, we anticipate that the cost impact  would  be
negligible.
  ERS costs: Pursuant to Section 25 of the Retirement and Social Securi-
ty  Law,  any  cost incurred would be borne by the State of New York and
would require an itemized appropriation by the State of New York  suffi-
cient to pay the cost of the provision.
  PFRS  costs  would  be shared by the State of New York and all partic-
ipating employers in the PFRS.

  FISCAL NOTE.--Pursuant to Legislative Law, Section 50:
  This  bill  would  amend  certain  filing requirements of the New York
State and Local Employees' Retirement System  (ERS)  and  the  New  York
State  and Local Police and Fire Retirement System (PFRS) by setting the
date of filing as the date of postmark for any document that has  to  be
filed,  or  payment  that has to be made by a specified date or within a
prescribed time period.
  If this bill is enacted, we anticipate that the cost impact  would  be
negligible.
  ERS costs: Pursuant to Section 25 of the Retirement and Social Securi-
ty  Law,  any  cost incurred would be borne by the State of New York and
would require an itemized appropriation by the State of New York  suffi-
cient to pay the cost of the provision.
  PFRS  costs  would  be shared by the State of New York and all partic-
ipating employers in the PFRS.
  Summary of relevant resources:
  The membership data used in  measuring  the  impact  of  the  proposed
change  was  the same as that used in the March 31, 2013 actuarial valu-
ation.  Distributions and other statistics can  be  found  in  the  2013
Report  of  the  Actuary  and  the  2013  Comprehensive Annual Financial
Report.
  The actuarial assumptions and methods used are described in the  2010,
2011,  2012  and  2013  Annual  Report  to  the Comptroller on Actuarial
Assumptions, and the Codes Rules and Regulations of  the  State  of  New
York: Audit and Control.
  The Market Assets and GASB Disclosures are found in the March 31, 2013
New  York  State  and  Local  Retirement System Financial Statements and
Supplementary Information.
  I am a member of the American Academy of Actuaries and meet the Quali-
fication Standards to render the actuarial opinion contained herein.
  This estimate, dated June 10, 2014, and intended for use  only  during
the  2014  Legislative Session, is Fiscal Note No. 2014-151, prepared by
the Actuary for the New  York  State  and  Local  Employees'  Retirement
System  and  the  New  York  State  and Local Police and Fire Retirement
System.
