   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-
 ry  on  the  job and was unable to return to work after surgery in March
 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-
 nary  disability benefit, shall be entitled to reapply for an accidental
 disability retirement from the  New  York  state  and  local  retirement
 system  if,  within one year of the effective date of this act, he shall
 file a written request with the state comptroller.
   § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
   FISCAL NOTE.--Pursuant to Legislative Law, Section 50:
   This bill would allow James E. McTammany, an ordinary disability reti-
 ree in the  New  York  State  and  Local  Employees'  Retirement  System
 (NYSLERS),  to reapply for an accidental disability retirement. James E.
 McTammany was previously denied the accidental disability in  1995,  and
 this decision was upheld at a hearing in 1997.
   If  this  bill  is  enacted during the 2023 legislative session, there
 will be an immediate past service cost of approximately  $266,000  which
 will  be shared by the State of New York and all participating employers
 in the NYSLERS.
