 AN ACT to authorize James E. McTammany to receive an accidental disabil-
   ity retirement
 
   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, James E.
 McTammany, who was employed by the town of Greece from January 24,  1974
 until  September 15, 1991 and for the office of emergency communications
 for the city of Rochester from September 16, 1991 until July  25,  1995,
 and who was critically injured in September 1994 as a result of an inju-

 1995, and who was denied an accidental disability  retirement  from  the
 New York state and local retirement system, and who, as of the effective
 date of this act, is on regular service disability or receiving an ordi-

 ree in the New York State and Local Employees' Retirement System  (ERS),
 to  reapply for an accidental disability retirement. James McTammany was
 previously denied the accidental disability in 1995, and  this  decision
 was upheld at a hearing in 1997.
   If  this  legislation  is enacted during the 2021 legislative session,
 there will be an immediate past service cost of approximately  $253,000.
 This  estimated  cost  assumes that the ERS will approve James McTammany
 for the accidental disability retirement after he reapplies pursuant  to
 this  legislation.  It  also  assumes that his increased benefit will be
