   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, Michelle  Rick-
 ard,  currently  a  town of Hamburg 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 June 22, 2008 was employed by the Erie county sher-
 iff's department where she was a member of the New York state and  local
 employees' retirement system, and who, for reasons not ascribable to her
 own  negligence,  was  not granted service credit under section 384-d of
 the retirement and social security law for her 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 associated with cover-
 age  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 Michelle Rickard submitting such request, she must first
 file an application for tier reinstatement with the New York  state  and
 local police and fire retirement system, as she has previously withdrawn
 her  membership  with the New York state and local employees' retirement
 system. Once any costs associated with  Michelle  Rickard's  tier  rein-
 statement  to  her  prior membership are paid in full by her, she 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 Michelle Rickard.
   § 2. All past service costs incurred in implementing the provisions of
 this act shall be borne by the town of Hamburg.
