2013-S7419 - Sponsor Memo

                                BILL NUMBER:S7419

TITLE OF BILL:  An act in relation to granting Luke Parga tier IV status
in the New York state and local employees' retirement system with a
membership date of 2006

PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:  Relates to tier IV retirement benefits
for Luke Parga.

SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:

Section 1. Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, Luke Pam who
is currently a tier V member of the New York state and local employees'
retirement system and currently employed by the department of transpor-
tation, and who was employed by the state university of New York at
Potsdam Police and Binghamton University in 2006, and who, for reasons
not ascribable to his own negligence. failed to become a member of the
New York state and local employees' retirement system in 2006, shall be
deemed to have been a member of such retirement system on the date he
first commenced such employment in 2006, having tier IV status with
every right, benefit and privilege which would have been available to
him on such date.

Section 2. All past service costs of implementing the provisions of this
act shall be borne by the state of New York.

JUSTIFICATION:  Luke Parga currently works for NYS DOT but has requested
to be a tier IV member of the New York state and local employees'
retirement system (as he is currently a tier V member) since he failed
to enroll (through no fault of his own) while employed at the state
university of New York at Potsdam Police and Binghamton University in
2006. This legislation would authorize Luke Parga to become a tier IV
member on the date he first commenced such employment in 2006.

PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: New bill.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:  This bill will grant Tier 4 status in the New York
State and Local Employees' Retirement System to Luke F. Parga, a current
Tier 5 member employed by the State of New York, by changing his date of
membership to February 8, 2006.

If this legislation is enacted during the 2014 legislative session, we
anticipate that there will be an increase of approximately 51,500 in the
annual contributions of the State of New York for the fiscal year ending
March 31, 2015.

In addition to the annual contributions discussed above, there will be
an immediate past service cost of approximately 53,480 which will be
borne by the State of New York as a one-time payment. This estimate is
based on the assumption that payment will be made on March 1, 2015.

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 valuation.
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.

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 Qualification Standards to render the actuarial
opinion contained herein.

the 2014 Legislative Session, is Fiscal Note No. 2014-72, prepared by
the Actuary for the New York State and Local Employees' Retirement
System.
