 AN ACT to authorize Stephen Watkins to elect to be  covered  by  section
   384-d of the retirement and social security law
 
   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,
 Stephen Watkins, a member of the New York state  and  local  police  and
 fire  retirement  system,  who was employed as a police officer with the
 town of Manlius, from August 5, 2005 through September 12, 2016, and who
 is currently employed as a police officer with  the  town  of  Camillus,
 since  September  12,  2016, and who, through no fault of his own, twice
 failed to file a timely application to participate in the special  twen-
 ty-year retirement plan contained in section 384-d of the retirement and
 social  security  law resulting in the crediting of his service with the
 town of Manlius and the town of Camillus in the general retirement  plan
 contained  in  section  375-c of such law, shall be given full credit in
 the special twenty-year retirement plan for such additional service upon
 the election of the town of Camillus to assume the  additional  cost  of
 such service. The town of Camillus may so elect by filing with the state
 comptroller, within 180 days of the effective date of this act, a resol-
 ution  of  its  local  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
 within one year of the effective date of this  act.    If  the  town  of
 Camillus  elects  to  file such resolution, such police officer shall be
 given full credit for his time as a police  officer  with  the  town  of
 Manlius and the town of Camillus.
