 AN ACT to authorize the county of  Orleans to offer an  optional  twenty
   year  retirement  plan  to Kevin Colonna, a deputy sheriff employed by
   such county
 
   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,
 Kevin Colonna, a member of the optional twenty-five year retirement plan
 for  certain  sheriffs,  undersheriffs,  deputy  sheriffs and correction
 officers pursuant to section 89-l of the retirement and social  security
 law,  who  was  employed  by  the  Orleans county sheriff's office as of
 February 10, 2013, and who through no fault of his own, failed to file a
 timely application to participate in the special twenty year  retirement
 plan  contained in section 553 of the retirement and social security law
 resulting in the crediting of his service with the county of Orleans  in
 the  retirement  plan  contained  in  section 89-l of such law, shall be
 given full credit in the section 553 twenty  year  retirement  plan  for
 such  service  upon  the election of the county of Orleans to assume the
 additional cost of such service and his election to participate in  such
 plan.  The  county of Orleans may so elect within one year of the effec-
 tive date of this act, by filing with the state comptroller a resolution
 of its local legislative body  together  with  certification  that  such
 member did not bar himself from participation in such retirement plan as
 a result of his own negligence.
   §  2. Such deputy sheriff may elect to be covered by the provisions of
 section 553 of the retirement and social security law and shall be enti-
 tled to the full rights and benefits associated with coverage under such
 section by filing a request to that effect with  the  state  comptroller
 within eighteen months of the effective date of this act.
   §  3.  All employer past service costs associated with the implementa-
 tion of this act shall be borne by Orleans county, and may be  amortized
 over a period of five years.
   § 4. This act shall take effect immediately.
