AN ACT to authorize Patricia Gill-Davanzo Tier IV status in the New York
  state and local employees' retirement system

  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, Patricia Gill-
Davanzo, a member of the New York State and Local Employees'  Retirement
System  (NYSERS) with Tier V status, who was employed by the North Baby-
lon Union Free School District on June 16, 1993 and who for reasons  not
ascribable  to  her own negligence was not offered membership in the New
York State and Local Employees' Retirement System on June 16, 1993 as  a
Tier IV member, shall, upon application filed with the state comptroller
on  or  before the thirty-first day of December next succeeding the date
on which this act shall have become a law, be reclassified as a Tier  IV
member  with  June 16, 1993 as her date of membership and shall be enti-
tled to every right, benefit and privilege which would have been  avail-
able to her in accordance with Tier IV status.
  S  2. No contributions made to the New York state and local employees'
retirement system by Patricia Gill-Davanzo shall be returned or refunded
to her pursuant to this act.
  S 3. All past service costs associated with the implementation of this
act shall be borne by the North Babylon Union Free School District.
  S 4. This act shall take effect immediately.
  FISCAL NOTE.--Pursuant to Legislative Law, Section 50:
  This bill will grant Tier 4 status in the New  York  State  and  Local
Employees'  Retirement System to Patricia Gill-Davanzo, a current Tier 5
member employed by the North Babylon  Union  Free  School  District,  by
changing  her  date  of  membership  to  June 16, 1993. There will be no
refund of member contributions.
  If this legislation is enacted during the 2016 legislative session, we
anticipate that there will be an increase of approximately $1,710 in the
annual contributions of the North Babylon Union Free School District for

S. 7377                             2

the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017. In future years, this  cost  will
vary as the billing rates and salary of Patricia Gill-Davanzo change.
  In addition to the annual contributions discussed above, there will be
an  immediate  past  service cost of approximately $17,000 which will be
borne by the North Babylon Union Free  School  District  as  a  one-time
payment.  This  estimate is based on the assumption that payment will be
made on February 1, 2017.
  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, 2015 actuarial valu-
ation.  Distributions and other statistics can  be  found  in  the  2015
Report  of  the  Actuary  and  the  2015  Comprehensive Annual Financial
Report.

Annual Report to the Comptroller on Actuarial Assumptions, and the Codes

Supplementary Information.

fication Standards to render the actuarial opinion contained herein.
