   Section 1. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary,
 the city of Cortland, in the county of Cortland, a participating employ-
 er  in  the  New York state and local police and fire retirement system,
 which previously elected to offer the  optional  twenty-year  retirement
 plan, established pursuant to section 384-d of the retirement and social
 security  law,  to firefighters employed by such city, is hereby author-
 ized to make participation in such plan available to Travis Marshall,  a
 firefighter  employed  by  the  city  of  Cortland, who, for reasons not
 ascribable to his own negligence, failed to make a timely application to
 participate in such optional twenty-year retirement plan.  The  city  of
 Cortland  may  so  elect by filing with the state comptroller, within 12
 months of the effective date of this act, a resolution of its own common
 council together with certification that such firefighter  did  not  bar
 himself  from  participation  in such retirement plan as a result of his
 own negligence.  Thereafter, such firefighter 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 6 months of the city of Cortland's
 filing.
   § 2. All past costs associated with  implementing  the  provisions  of
 this  act  shall  be borne by the city of Cortland, and may be amortized
 over a period of ten years.
   § 3. This act shall take effect immediately.
   FISCAL NOTE. -- Pursuant to Legislative Law, Section 50:

  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.
