 AN  ACT  to amend the retirement and social security law, in relation to

   THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. Section 110-c of the retirement and social security law, as
 amended  by  chapter  165  of  the  laws  of 1993, is amended to read as
 follows:
   § 110-c. Deductions from benefits of  certain  retired  members.    1.
 Notwithstanding  any other provision of law, a retired member shall have
 the right, at any time after the retiree's retirement,  to  execute  and
 file a deduction authorization card with the comptroller authorizing the
 deduction  from  the retired member's retirement allowance of membership
 dues and such retired member's share of the cost for employee  organiza-
 tion-sponsored benefit plans and the payment thereof to a retiree organ-
 ization  of  which the retired member is then a member and which is then
 affiliated with either an employee organization certified or  recognized
 as  the  collective  bargaining  representative  of all employees in the
 negotiating unit of which the retired member was a part prior to his  or
 her retirement or with an employee organization with which such employee
 organization is then affiliated. The comptroller shall thereafter deduct
 from  the  retirement  allowance  of  such  retired member the amount of
 membership dues and such amounts required to be  paid  by  such  retired
 member  for  such  authorized  employee  organization-sponsored  benefit
 plans, and shall transmit the sum so deducted to said retiree  organiza-
 tion. Such authorization shall continue in effect until revoked in writ-
 ing  by  such  retired  member.  For  purposes  of this section the term
 "employee organization-sponsored benefit plans" shall  include  any  and
 all insurance plans and/or other benefit plans sponsored by such retiree
 organization  whether  provided  by  (a)  a  not-for-profit  corporation
