 AN ACT to authorize the village of Athens, in the county of  Greene,  to
   offer an optional twenty-year retirement plan to police officer Edward
   Tercasio, Jr.
 
   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 village of Athens, in the county of Greene, a participating employer
 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 secu-
 rity law, to police officers employed by such village, is hereby author-
 ized  to  make  participation in such plan available to Edward Tercasio,
 Jr., a police officer employed  by  the  village  of  Athens,  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 village of Athens may so elect by filing with the state comptroller,
 within 12 months of the effective date of this act, a resolution of  the
 village  board  of trustees 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  18  months  of
 the effective date of this act.
   §  2.  All  past  costs associated with implementing the provisions of
 this act shall be borne by the village of Athens and  may  be  amortized
 over a period of ten years.
   § 3. This act shall take effect immediately.

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