  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  Little  Falls, in the county of Herkimer, 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 Justin Dibble a police
officer employed by the city of Little Falls, who, on the effective date
of this act is covered under the provisions  of  section  375-i  of  the
retirement  and social security law, and who, for reasons not ascribable
to his own negligence failed to make a timely application to participate
in such optional retirement plan. The city of Little Falls may so  elect
by  filing with the state comptroller, on or before December 31, 2020, a
resolution of its legislative body together with certification that such
police officer did not bar himself from participation in such retirement
plan as a result of his own negligence. Thereafter, 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 comptroller on or  before
June 30, 2021.
  §   2.  All  past  service  costs  associated  with  implementing  the
provisions of this act shall be borne by the state.
  § 3. This act shall take effect immediately.
  FISCAL NOTE. -- Pursuant to Legislative Law, Section 50:
  This bill will allow the city of Little Falls to elect to  reopen  the
provisions  of  Section  384-d of the Retirement and Social Security Law
for police officer Justin Dibble.
