   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  Unger,
 currently  a  town  of  West Seneca police officer and member of the New
 York state and local  police  and  fire  retirement  system  covered  by
 section  384-d  of  the  retirement and social security law, who between
 January 21, 2003 and September 6, 2006 was employed by the  Erie  county
 sheriff's  department  where  he  was a member of the New York state and
 local employees' retirement system, and who, for reasons not  ascribable
 to  his  own  negligence,  was  not granted service credit under section
 384-d of the retirement and  social  security  law  for  his  period  of
 employment  with  the Erie county sheriff's department, shall be granted
 such service credit under section 384-d of  the  retirement  and  social
 security law and shall be entitled to the full rights and benefits asso-
 ciated  with  coverage  under  such  section, provided a request to that
 effect is filed with the state comptroller  within  one  year  from  the
 effective  date  of  this  act.  Prior  to  James  Unger submitting such
 request, he must first file an application for tier  reinstatement  with
 the  New  York  state and local police and fire retirement system, as he
 has previously withdrawn his membership with  the  New  York  state  and
 local employees' retirement system. Once any costs associated with James
 Unger's  tier  reinstatement to his prior membership are paid in full by
 him, he may be granted the service credit and such service  credit  will
 be  creditable  service under section 384-d of the retirement and social
 security law for James Unger.
   § 2. All past service costs incurred in implementing the provisions of
 this act shall be borne by the town of West Seneca.
