 AN ACT in relation to authorizing Daniel Woolley  to  receive  an  acci-
   dental disability retirement
 
   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, Daniel Woolley,
 who was employed by the town of Clarkstown  as  a  police  officer  from
 February  1991 to February 2023 and who retired from service on February
 25, 2023, and who was diagnosed with an aortic aneurysm of the heart  on
 February  15,  2024,  and  who, as of the effective date of this act, is
 receiving a service retirement benefit from the New York state and local
 police and fire retirement system, shall be entitled  to  apply  for  an
 accidental  disability  retirement  from  the  New  York state and local
 police and fire retirement system pursuant to section 363 of the retire-
 ment and social security law 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  Daniel Woolley, a service retiree of the New
 York State and Local Police and Fire Retirement  System  (NYSLPFRS),  to
 apply  for  an accidental disability retirement under section 363 of the
 Retirement and Social Security Law.
   If this bill is enacted during the  2025  Legislative  Session,  there
 will  be  an  immediate past service cost of approximately $86,900 as of
 February 1, 2026, which will be shared by the State of New York and  the
 local participating employers in NYSLPFRS and spread over future billing
 cycles.
   This  estimate  assumes  that  the New York State and Local Retirement
 System will approve Daniel Woolley for an accidental disability  retire-
 ment following their application pursuant to this legislation.

  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.
