   Committee on Governmental Employees
 
 AN ACT granting a retroactive retirement date of August 5, 2010 from the
   New York state and local police and fire retirement system for  Cariol
   Horne
 
   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,
 Cariol Horne, who is a member of the New York state and local police and
 fire retirement system, and was employed by the city of  Buffalo  police
 department  as  a police officer, shall be deemed eligible for a service
 retirement benefit effective August 5, 2010. Due to no fault of her own,
 Ms. Horne was ineligible to file for her service retirement benefit with
 the New York state and local police and fire retirement system on August
 5, 2010, based on her wrongful termination  from  the  city  of  Buffalo
 police  department. At the time of her termination she was ineligible to
 qualify for a service retirement benefit because she did not have twenty
 qualifying years of service credit necessary to retire under her special
 retirement plan established pursuant to section 384-d of the  retirement
 and  social  security  law.  On  April  13,  2021, a grave injustice was
 corrected when Cariol Horne's termination was vacated and she was subse-
 quently reinstated to the Buffalo police department for  the  period  of
 July 26, 2008 through August 4, 2010, which provided her with the neces-
 sary  twenty  years  of  qualifying  service  credit  required under her
 special plan.  Within one year from the  effective  date  of  this  act,
 Cariol  Horne  may file with the New York state and local police retire-
 ment system an application  for  service  retirement  benefits  with  an
 effective date of retirement of August 5, 2010. Once such application is
 received,  any rights or benefits payable to Ms. Horne shall be retroac-
 tive to the effective date of her retirement.    Upon  receipt  of  such
 request, the New York state and local police and fire retirement system,
 
  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.
