One of the finest traditions of American community life is the service which people render to others [without remuneration]. Volunteer firefighters have long been in the forefront of this group. In recognition of the unselfish service by these volunteers, government has undertaken to provide for them and their families some measure of protection against loss from death or injuries in line of duty. Over the years there has developed a dual system of benefits when volunteer fire- fighters are killed or injured. The dual system has caused uncertainty and confusion. This law establishes a new single system of benefits for volunteer firefighters and provides for the administration of such system by the workers' compensation board and the chairman of such board. It is hereby declared that this chapter is intended to effectuate the objects and purposes of section eighteen of article one of the state constitution and that the relationship between the political subdivision liable for benefits under this chapter and a volunteer firefighter enti- tled to such benefits is that of employer and employee within the mean- ing of such provision of the state constitution. § 2. Subdivision 3 of section 3 of the volunteer firefighters' benefit law, as amended by chapter 458 of the laws of 1996, is amended to read as follows: 3. "Line of duty" means the performance by a volunteer firefighter as a volunteer firefighter of the duties and activities described in subdi- vision one of section five of this chapter and the same such duties and activities performed for a specialized team established pursuant to the provisions of section two hundred nine-bb of the general municipal law for which the volunteer firefighter does not receive any remuneration or a gratuity and shall be deemed to include any date of injury as deter- mined by the workers' compensation board pursuant to the provisions of section forty-one of this chapter. The following shall not be deemed to be remuneration or a gratuity: PAYMENT OF A NOMINAL FEE AS OUTLINED IN SECTION TWO HUNDRED-AA OF THE GENERAL MUNICIPAL LAW; reimbursement of expenses for meals, lodging and actual and necessary travel; the receipt of a mileage allowance in lieu of travel expense; reimbursement of expenses for registration and tuition fees payable under section seven- ty-two-g of the general municipal law, and the acceptance of transporta- tion, food, drink, shelter, clothing and similar items while on duty or engaged in such activities. § 3. The general municipal law is amended by adding a new section 200-aa to read as follows: § 200-AA. NOMINAL FEE FOR VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTERS. 1. FOR PURPOSES OF THIS SECTION: (A) "FIRE COMPANY" SHALL HAVE THE SAME MEANING AS DEFINED IN SECTION THREE OF THE VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTERS' BENEFIT LAW. (B) "NOMINAL FEE" MEANS PAYMENT TO A VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTER OF A STIPEND OR A FEE FOR A PER CALL OR ON CALL BASIS.

Subparagraph (m) of the opening paragraph of subdivision 5 of section 651 of the labor law, as amended by chapter 105 of the laws of 2019, is amended to read as follows: (m) by a federal, state or municipal government or political subdivi- sion thereof, INCLUDING VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTERS AS DEFINED IN SECTION THREE OF THE VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTERS' BENEFIT LAW; § 6. Section 35 of the civil service law is amended by adding a new subdivision (l) to read as follows: (L) ALL VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTERS AS DEFINED BY SECTION THREE OF THE VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTERS' BENEFIT LAW. § 7.

Contracts for outside service by volunteer fire departments and companies. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no contract shall be made by a municipality or fire district whereby the services of a volunteer fire department or company are to be supplied outside of such municipality or fire district to provide (1) fire protection, (2) emergency service in case of accidents, calamities or other emergencies, or (3) general ambulance service pursuant to the provisions of section two hundred nine-b of this article, unless such volunteer fire depart- ment or company consents thereto.

PART K Section 1. New York's alcoholic beverage control law was enacted in 1934. Since that time, the law has grown organically to meet the chang- ing needs of the industry. However, through that growth over the course of nearly a century, the structure of the law has become unwieldy and S. 4005 28 A. 3005 inconsistent. Consequently, it is difficult for the industry and regu- lators to understand, implement, enforce, and comply with the law. The State believes that with an open, transparent legislative review process, the alcoholic beverage control law can be properly rewritten. To begin the process of modernizing the state's alcoholic beverage control laws, the New York State Liquor Authority ("SLA") is hereby directed to undertake a review of those laws and recommend changes. Such recommended changes shall focus on clearly and rationally delineating policies, procedures, criteria, and legal standards that are in current law but not in an intelligible form. The SLA shall prepare an amended version of the law containing the proposed changes and post it on their website for public review. § 2. This act shall take effect immediately. PART L Section 1. The alcoholic beverage control law is amended by adding a new section 97-d to read as follows: § 97-D. TEMPORARY WHOLESALE PERMIT. 1. ANY PERSON MAY APPLY TO THE LIQUOR AUTHORITY FOR A TEMPORARY PERMIT TO OPERATE ANY ALCOHOLIC BEVER- AGE WHOLESALE BUSINESS AS MAY BE LICENSED UNDER THIS CHAPTER.

FISCAL NOTE.--Pursuant to Legislative Law, Section 50: S. 4005 39 A. 3005 This bill would revise the terms of participation in the New York State and Local Retirement Systems (NYSLRS) Contribution Stabilization Program (CSP). Participating employers in the NYSLRS may enter the CSP to reduce volatility in average annual contribution rates. Should employer billing rates increase rapidly, the CSP allows a portion of the increase to be amortized over 10 years for the regular CSP or 12 years for the alternative CSP. Should employer billing rates decrease rapid- ly, the CSP requires employers to make an additional contribution, called a graded payment. The graded payment is deposited into an inter- est-bearing reserve fund held within the NYSLRS for the exclusive use by the employer to reduce future amortizations. This bill revises the CSP in the following ways: 1) Limits the value of the reserve fund assets. Graded payments would cease when the employer's reserve fund assets exceed the employer's actuarial contribution in the prior fiscal year. Currently, the reserve fund is capped at 100% of the employer's payroll. 2) Creates provisions for termination from the CSP, subject to approval by the Comptroller, provided all prior year amortizations are paid in full, including interest. Beginning the fiscal year following termination, the employer would not be required (or allowed) to make a graded payment. Any existing reserve fund assets would be used to reduce future annual bills up to the amount the employer would have been able to amortize if still in the program. The employer would be permitted to re-enter the regular CSP only if eligible to amortize, provided all reserve fund assets are depleted. 3) Allows an employer to utilize its reserve fund assets to pay a portion of its annual bill when the employer's average actuarial contribution rate exceeds the employer's graded rate. Currently, the employer's average actuarial rate must exceed the System graded rate. If this bill is enacted during the 2023 legislative session, we antic- ipate some administrative costs to implement the provisions of this legislation.

Over the years there has developed a dual system of benefits when volunteer fire- fighters are killed or injured. The dual system has caused uncertainty and confusion. This law establishes a new single system of benefits for volunteer firefighters and provides for the administration of such system by the workers' compensation board and the chairman of such board. It is hereby declared that this chapter is intended to effectuate the objects and purposes of section eighteen of article one of the state constitution and that the relationship between the political subdivision liable for benefits under this chapter and a volunteer firefighter enti- tled to such benefits is that of employer and employee within the mean- ing of such provision of the state constitution. § 2. Subdivision 3 of section 3 of the volunteer firefighters' benefit law, as amended by chapter 458 of the laws of 1996, is amended to read as follows: 3. "Line of duty" means the performance by a volunteer firefighter as a volunteer firefighter of the duties and activities described in subdi- vision one of section five of this chapter and the same such duties and activities performed for a specialized team established pursuant to the provisions of section two hundred nine-bb of the general municipal law for which the volunteer firefighter does not receive any remuneration or a gratuity and shall be deemed to include any date of injury as deter- mined by the workers' compensation board pursuant to the provisions of section forty-one of this chapter. The following shall not be deemed to be remuneration or a gratuity: PAYMENT OF A NOMINAL FEE AS OUTLINED IN SECTION TWO HUNDRED-AA OF THE GENERAL MUNICIPAL LAW; reimbursement of expenses for meals, lodging and actual and necessary travel; the receipt of a mileage allowance in lieu of travel expense; reimbursement of expenses for registration and tuition fees payable under section seven- ty-two-g of the general municipal law, and the acceptance of transporta- tion, food, drink, shelter, clothing and similar items while on duty or engaged in such activities. § 3. The general municipal law is amended by adding a new section 200-aa to read as follows: § 200-AA. NOMINAL FEE FOR VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTERS. 1. FOR PURPOSES OF THIS SECTION: S. 4005--A 24 A. 3005--A (A) "FIRE COMPANY" SHALL HAVE THE SAME MEANING AS DEFINED IN SECTION THREE OF THE VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTERS' BENEFIT LAW. (B) "NOMINAL FEE" MEANS PAYMENT TO A VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTER OF A STIPEND OR A FEE FOR A PER CALL OR ON CALL BASIS. THE PAYMENT OF THE NOMINAL FEE IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR COMPENSATION AND MUST NOT BE TIED TO PRODUCTIVITY. (C) "VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTER" SHALL HAVE THE SAME MEANING AS DEFINED IN SECTION THREE OF THE VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTERS' BENEFIT LAW. 2. THE GOVERNING BOARD OF A CITY, TOWN, VILLAGE OR FIRE DISTRICT MAY, BY LOCAL LAW, ORDINANCE OR RESOLUTION, AUTHORIZE A FIRE COMPANY TO PROVIDE NOMINAL FEES TO VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTERS FOR: (A) RESPONSE TO A FIRE, ALARM OF FIRE, HAZARDOUS MATERIAL INCIDENT OR OTHER EMERGENCY TO WHICH THEIR FIRE DEPARTMENT, FIRE COMPANY, OR ANY UNIT THEREOF, EITHER HAS RESPONDED OR WOULD BE REQUIRED OR AUTHORIZED TO RESPOND; AND (B) FOR COMPLETION OF CERTAIN TRAINING, AS IDENTIFIED AND PUBLISHED BY THE OFFICE OF FIRE PREVENTION AND CONTROL. 3. THE OFFICE OF FIRE PREVENTION AND CONTROL MAY MAKE AVAILABLE STATE FUNDS THROUGH A STIPEND TO VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTERS FOR COMPLETION OF CERTAIN FIREFIGHTER TRAINING, AS IDENTIFIED AND PUBLISHED BY THE OFFICE OF FIRE PREVENTION AND CONTROL. § 4. Subdivision 2 of section 517 of the labor law is amended by adding a new paragraph (j) to read as follows: (J) ANY NOMINAL FEE PAID TO A VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTER PURSUANT TO SECTION TWO HUNDRED-AA OF THE GENERAL MUNICIPAL LAW. § 5. Subparagraph (m) of the opening paragraph of subdivision 5 of section 651 of the labor law, as amended by chapter 105 of the laws of 2019, is amended to read as follows: (m) by a federal, state or municipal government or political subdivi- sion thereof, INCLUDING VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTERS AS DEFINED IN SECTION THREE OF THE VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTERS' BENEFIT LAW; § 6. Section 35 of the civil service law is amended by adding a new subdivision (l) to read as follows: (L) ALL VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTERS AS DEFINED BY SECTION THREE OF THE VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTERS' BENEFIT LAW. § 7. Subdivision 7 of section 201 of the civil service law is amended by adding a new paragraph (h) to read as follows: (H) THE TERM "PUBLIC EMPLOYEE" SHALL NOT MEAN A VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTER AS DEFINED BY SECTION THREE OF THE VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTERS' BENEFIT LAW FOR PURPOSES OF THIS ARTICLE. § 8. Paragraph (c) of subdivision 1 of section 205-g of the general municipal law, as added by chapter 559 of the laws of 2006, is amended to read as follows: c. "Line of duty" means the performance by a volunteer firefighter of the duties and activities described in subdivision one of section five of the volunteer firefighters' benefit law and the same such duties and activities performed for a specialized team established pursuant to the provisions of section two hundred nine-bb of this article for which the volunteer firefighter does not receive any remuneration or a gratuity and shall be deemed to include any date of injury as determined by the workers' compensation board pursuant to the provisions of section forty-one of the volunteer firefighters' benefit law.

Section 209-d of the general municipal law, as amended by chapter 476 of the laws of 2018, is amended to read as follows: § 209-d. Contracts for outside service by volunteer fire departments and companies. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no contract shall be made by a municipality or fire district whereby the services of a volunteer fire department or company are to be supplied outside of such municipality or fire district to provide (1) fire protection, (2) emergency service in case of accidents, calamities or other emergencies, or (3) general ambulance service pursuant to the provisions of section two hundred nine-b of this article, unless such volunteer fire depart- ment or company consents thereto. Any such contract may provide for the payment of a portion of the consideration expressed therein to such volunteer fire department or company to be expended for fire department or company purposes only. If the municipality or fire district owns all of the fire apparatus to be used in carrying out the contract, the portion of the consideration which may be paid to such volunteer fire department or company shall not exceed thirty-five per centum, unless a greater portion was being so paid on March fifteenth, nineteen hundred forty-one, under a contract entered into on or before that date, in which event a not greater portion than was being paid on said date may be paid to such volunteer fire department or company in respect to any contract entered into on or after such date. No payments shall be made to individual volunteer firefighters as compensation for rendering such outside service. THE PAYMENT OF A NOMINAL FEE TO A VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTER PURSUANT TO SECTION TWO HUNDRED-AA OF THIS ARTICLE SHALL NOT CONSTITUTE COMPENSATION FOR RENDERING SUCH OUTSIDE SERVICE. § 10. This act shall take effect immediately. PART I Section 1. Subdivision 7 of section 575 of the executive law is REPEALED and a new subdivision 7 is added to read as follows: 7.

PART K Section 1. New York's alcoholic beverage control law was enacted in 1934. Since that time, the law has grown organically to meet the chang- ing needs of the industry. However, through that growth over the course of nearly a century, the structure of the law has become unwieldy and inconsistent. Consequently, it is difficult for the industry and regu- lators to understand, implement, enforce, and comply with the law. The State believes that with an open, transparent legislative review process, the alcoholic beverage control law can be properly rewritten. To begin the process of modernizing the state's alcoholic beverage control laws, the New York State Liquor Authority ("SLA") is hereby directed to undertake a review of those laws and recommend changes. Such recommended changes shall focus on clearly and rationally delineating policies, procedures, criteria, and legal standards that are in current law but not in an intelligible form. The SLA shall prepare an amended version of the law containing the proposed changes and post it on their website for public review. § 2. This act shall take effect immediately. PART L Section 1. The alcoholic beverage control law is amended by adding a new section 97-d to read as follows: § 97-D. TEMPORARY WHOLESALE PERMIT. 1.

SUCH APPLICATION SHALL BE ACCOMPANIED BY A CHECK OR DRAFT IN THE AMOUNT OF ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS FOR SUCH PERMIT. 2. UPON APPLICATION, THE LIQUOR AUTHORITY MAY ISSUE SUCH TEMPORARY PERMIT WHEN: (A) THE APPLICANT HAS A WHOLESALE LICENSE APPLICATION AT THE SAME PREMISES PENDING BEFORE THE LIQUOR AUTHORITY, TOGETHER WITH ALL REQUIRED FILING AND LICENSE FEES; (B) THE APPLICANT HAS OBTAINED AND PROVIDED EVIDENCE OF ALL PERMITS, LICENSES AND OTHER DOCUMENTS NECESSARY FOR THE OPERATION OF SUCH A BUSI- NESS; AND (C) ANY CURRENT LICENSE IN EFFECT AT THE PREMISES THAT MAY NOT UNDER LAW OPERATE CONCURRENTLY HAS BEEN SURRENDERED OR PLACED IN SAFEKEEPING, OR HAS BEEN DEEMED ABANDONED BY THE AUTHORITY. 3. THE LIQUOR AUTHORITY IN GRANTING SUCH PERMIT SHALL ENSURE THAT: (A) ISSUANCE OF THE PERMIT WILL NOT INORDINATELY HINDER THE OPERATION OR EFFECTIVE ADMINISTRATION OF THIS CHAPTER; (B) THE APPLICANT WOULD IN ALL LIKELIHOOD BE ABLE TO ULTIMATELY OBTAIN THE WHOLESALE LICENSE BEING APPLIED FOR; AND S. 4005--A 29 A. 3005--A (C) THE APPLICANT HAS SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLIED WITH THE REQUIREMENTS NECESSARY TO OBTAIN SUCH LICENSE. 4. THE APPLICATION FOR A PERMIT SHALL BE APPROVED OR DENIED BY THE LIQUOR AUTHORITY WITHIN FORTY-FIVE DAYS AFTER THE RECEIPT OF SUCH APPLI- CATION. 5. A TEMPORARY PERMIT SHALL AUTHORIZE THE PERMITTEE TO OPERATE A WHOLESALE FACILITY FOR THE SALE OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES ACCORDING TO THE LAWS APPLICABLE TO THE TYPE OF WHOLESALE LICENSE BEING APPLIED FOR. 6. SUCH TEMPORARY PERMIT SHALL REMAIN IN EFFECT FOR SIX MONTHS OR UNTIL THE WHOLESALE LICENSE BEING APPLIED FOR IS APPROVED AND THE LICENSE GRANTED, WHICHEVER IS SHORTER. SUCH PERMIT MAY BE EXTENDED AT THE DISCRETION OF THE LIQUOR AUTHORITY FOR ADDITIONAL THREE-MONTH PERI- ODS OF TIME UPON PAYMENT OF AN ADDITIONAL FEE OF FIFTY DOLLARS FOR EACH SUCH EXTENSION. 7. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PROVISION OF LAW TO THE CONTRARY, A TEMPORARY PERMIT MAY BE SUMMARILY CANCELLED OR SUSPENDED AT ANY TIME IF THE LIQUOR AUTHORITY DETERMINES THAT GOOD CAUSE FOR CANCELLATION OR SUSPENSION EXISTS. THE LIQUOR AUTHORITY SHALL PROMPTLY NOTIFY THE PERMITTEE IN WRITING OF SUCH CANCELLATION OR SUSPENSION AND SHALL SET FORTH THE REASONS FOR SUCH ACTION. 8. THE LIQUOR AUTHORITY IN REVIEWING SUCH APPLICATION SHALL REVIEW THE ENTIRE RECORD AND GRANT THE TEMPORARY PERMIT UNLESS GOOD CAUSE IS OTHER- WISE SHOWN. A DECISION ON AN APPLICATION SHALL BE BASED ON SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE IN THE RECORD AND SUPPORTED BY A PREPONDERANCE OF THE EVIDENCE IN FAVOR OF THE APPLICANT. § 2. This act shall take effect on the ninetieth day after it shall have become law. PART M Section 1. The opening paragraph of subdivision 2 of section 99-d of the alcoholic beverage control law, as amended by chapter 560 of the laws of 2011, is amended to read as follows: Before any change in the members of a limited liability company or the transfer or assignment of a membership interest in a limited liability company or any corporate change in stockholders, stockholdings, alcohol- ic beverage officers, officers or directors, except officers and direc- tors of a premises licensed as a club or a luncheon club under this chapter can be effectuated for the purposes of this chapter, there shall be filed with the liquor authority an application for permission to make such change and there shall be paid to the liquor authority in advance upon filing of the application a fee of one hundred twenty-eight dollars.

THE AUTHORITY MAY NOT ACT TO APPROVE ANY APPLICATION SUBJECT TO THIS SECTION PRIOR TO THE PASSAGE OF THIRTY DAYS FROM THE DATE NOTIFICATION WAS PROVIDED TO THE MUNICIPALITY. THIS SECTION SHALL APPLY TO AN APPLICATION: § 2. This act shall take effect immediately. PART O Section 1.

Subdivision 4 of section 97-a of the alcoholic beverage control law, as added by chapter 396 of the laws of 2010, is amended to read as follows: 4. A temporary retail permit issued by the authority pursuant to this section shall be for a period not to exceed ninety days. A temporary permit may be extended at the discretion of the authority, for an addi- S. 4005--A 31 A. 3005--A tional [thirty] NINETY day period upon payment of an additional fee of sixty-four dollars for all retail beer licenses and ninety-six dollars for all other temporary permits and upon compliance with all conditions required in this section.

FISCAL NOTE.--Pursuant to Legislative Law, Section 50: This bill would revise the terms of participation in the New York State and Local Retirement Systems (NYSLRS) Contribution Stabilization Program (CSP). Participating employers in the NYSLRS may enter the CSP to reduce volatility in average annual contribution rates. Should employer billing rates increase rapidly, the CSP allows a portion of the increase to be amortized over 10 years for the regular CSP or 12 years for the alternative CSP. Should employer billing rates decrease rapid- ly, the CSP requires employers to make an additional contribution, called a graded payment. The graded payment is deposited into an inter- est-bearing reserve fund held within the NYSLRS for the exclusive use by the employer to reduce future amortizations. This bill revises the CSP in the following ways: 1) Limits the value of the reserve fund assets. Graded payments would cease when the employer's reserve fund assets exceed the employer's actuarial contribution in the prior fiscal year. Currently, the reserve fund is capped at 100% of the employer's payroll. 2) Creates provisions for termination from the CSP, subject to approval by the Comptroller, provided all prior year amortizations are paid in full, including interest. Beginning the fiscal year following termination, the employer would not be required (or allowed) to make a graded payment. Any existing reserve fund assets would be used to reduce future annual bills up to the amount the employer would have been able to amortize if still in the program. The employer would be permitted to re-enter the regular CSP only if eligible to amortize, provided all reserve fund assets are depleted. 3) Allows an employer to utilize its reserve fund assets to pay a portion of its annual bill when the employer's average actuarial contribution rate exceeds the employer's graded rate. Currently, the employer's average actuarial rate must exceed the System graded rate. If this bill is enacted during the 2023 legislative session, we antic- ipate some administrative costs to implement the provisions of this legislation. Summary of relevant resources: Membership data as of March 31, 2022 was used in measuring the impact of the proposed change, the same data used in the April 1, 2022 actuari- al valuation.

Purpose. One of the finest traditions of American community life is the service which people render to others [without remuneration]. Volunteer firefighters have long been in the forefront of this group. In recognition of the unselfish service by these volunteers, government has undertaken to provide for them and their families some measure of protection against loss from death or injuries in line of duty. Over the years there has developed a dual system of benefits when volunteer fire- fighters are killed or injured. The dual system has caused uncertainty and confusion. This law establishes a new single system of benefits for volunteer firefighters and provides for the administration of such system by the workers' compensation board and the chairman of such board. It is hereby declared that this chapter is intended to effectuate the objects and purposes of section eighteen of article one of the state constitution and that the relationship between the political subdivision liable for benefits under this chapter and a volunteer firefighter enti- tled to such benefits is that of employer and employee within the mean- ing of such provision of the state constitution. § 2. Subdivision 3 of section 3 of the volunteer firefighters' benefit law, as amended by chapter 458 of the laws of 1996, is amended to read as follows: 3. "Line of duty" means the performance by a volunteer firefighter as a volunteer firefighter of the duties and activities described in subdi- vision one of section five of this chapter and the same such duties and activities performed for a specialized team established pursuant to the provisions of section two hundred nine-bb of the general municipal law for which the volunteer firefighter does not receive any remuneration or a gratuity and shall be deemed to include any date of injury as deter- mined by the workers' compensation board pursuant to the provisions of section forty-one of this chapter. The following shall not be deemed to be remuneration or a gratuity: PAYMENT OF A STIPEND AS OUTLINED IN SECTION TWO HUNDRED-AA OF THE GENERAL MUNICIPAL LAW; reimbursement of expenses for meals, lodging and actual and necessary travel; the receipt of a mileage allowance in lieu of travel expense; reimbursement of expenses for registration and tuition fees payable under section seven- ty-two-g of the general municipal law, and the acceptance of transporta- tion, food, drink, shelter, clothing and similar items while on duty or engaged in such activities. § 3. The general municipal law is amended by adding a new section 200-aa to read as follows: § 200-AA. STIPEND FOR VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTERS. 1.

The following shall not be deemed to be remuneration or a gratuity: reimbursement of expenses for meals, lodging and actual and necessary travel; the receipt of a mileage allowance in lieu of travel expense; reimbursement of expenses for registration and tuition fees payable under section seven- ty-two-g of this chapter, [and] the acceptance of transportation, food, drink, shelter, clothing and similar items while on duty or engaged in such activities; AND PAYMENT OF A STIPEND AS OUTLINED IN SECTION 200-AA OF THIS ARTICLE. § 9. Intentionally omitted. § 10.

FISCAL NOTE.--Pursuant to Legislative Law, Section 50: This bill would revise the terms of participation in the New York State and Local Retirement Systems (NYSLRS) Contribution Stabilization Program (CSP). Participating employers in the NYSLRS may enter the CSP to reduce volatility in average annual contribution rates. Should employer billing rates increase rapidly, the CSP allows a portion of the increase to be amortized over 10 years for the regular CSP or 12 years for the alternative CSP. Should employer billing rates decrease rapid- ly, the CSP requires employers to make an additional contribution, called a graded payment. The graded payment is deposited into an inter- est-bearing reserve fund held within the NYSLRS for the exclusive use by the employer to reduce future amortizations. This bill revises the CSP in the following ways: 1) Limits the value of the reserve fund assets. Graded payments would cease when the employer's reserve fund assets exceed the employer's actuarial contribution in the prior fiscal year. Currently, the reserve fund is capped at 100% of the employer's payroll. 2) Creates provisions for termination from the CSP, subject to approval by the Comptroller, provided all prior year amortizations are paid in full, including interest. Beginning the fiscal year following termination, the employer would not be required (or allowed) to make a graded payment. Any existing reserve fund assets would be used to reduce future annual bills up to the amount the employer would have been able to amortize if still in the program. The employer would be permitted to re-enter the regular CSP only if eligible to amortize, provided all reserve fund assets are depleted. 3) Allows an employer to utilize its reserve fund assets to pay a portion of its annual bill when the employer's average actuarial contribution rate exceeds the employer's graded rate. Currently, the employer's average actuarial rate must exceed the System graded rate. S. 4005--B 34 If this bill is enacted during the 2023 legislative session, we antic- ipate some administrative costs to implement the provisions of this legislation. Summary of relevant resources: Membership data as of March 31, 2022 was used in measuring the impact of the proposed change, the same data used in the April 1, 2022 actuari- al valuation. Distributions and other statistics can be found in the 2022 Report of the Actuary and the 2022 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report. The actuarial assumptions and methods used are described in the 2020, 2021, and 2022 Annual Report to the Comptroller on Actuarial Assump- tions, and the Codes, Rules and Regulations of the State of New York: Audit and Control. The Market Assets and GASB Disclosures are found in the March 31, 2022 New York State and Local Retirement System Financial Statements and Supplementary Information. I am a member of the American Academy of Actuaries and meet the Quali- fication Standards to render the actuarial opinion contained herein. This fiscal note does not constitute a legal opinion on the viability of the proposed change nor is it intended to serve as a substitute for the professional judgment of an attorney. This estimate, dated January 26, 2023, and intended for use only during the 2023 Legislative Session, is Fiscal Note No. 2023-57, prepared by the Actuary for the New York State and Local Retirement System.
