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 city of Mount Vernon, in the county of Westchester, a participating
employer in the New York state and local police and fire retirement
system, which previously elected to offer the optional retirement plan
established pursuant to section 384-d of the retirement and social secu-
rity law to police officers employed by such city, is hereby authorized
to make participation in such plan available to Christopher Grieco,
Wendell Griffin, Patsy Leone and Jeremy Villanueva, police officers
employed by the city of Mount Vernon, who, on the effective date of this
act are covered under the provisions of section 375-i of the retirement
and social security law, and who, for reasons not ascribable to their
own negligence failed to make a timely application to participate in
such optional retirement plan. The city of Mount Vernon may so elect by
filing with the state comptroller, on or before June 30, 2014, a resol-
ution of its legislative body together with certification that any such
police officer did not bar himself or herself from participation in such
retirement plan as a result of his or her own negligence. Thereafter,
any such police officer may elect to be covered by the provisions of
section 384-d of the retirement and social security law, and shall be
entitled to the full rights and benefits associated with coverage under
such section, by filing a request to that effect with the state comp-
troller on or before June 30, 2016.
S 2. All costs associated with implementing the provisions of this act
shall be borne by the city of Mount Vernon.
