AN ACT to authorize  the  village  of  Southampton,  in  the  county  of
 Suffolk,  to  offer certain retirement options to police officer Theo
 dore Raffel, Jr.
 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,
 the  village  of  Southampton, in the county of Suffolk, a participating
 employer in the New York state and  local  police  and  fire  retirement
 system,  which  previously elected to offer the optional retirement plan
 established pursuant to section 384-d of the retirement and social secu
 rity law to police officers employed by such village, is hereby  author
 ized  to  make  participation in such plan available to Theodore Raffel,
 Jr., registration number 0A779322, a  police  officer  employed  by  the
 village  of  Southampton,  who,  on  the  effective  date of this act is
 covered under the provisions of section  375-i  of  the  retirement  and
 social  security  law,  and  who,  for reasons not ascribable to his own
 negligence failed to make a timely application to  participate  in  such
 optional  retirement  plan.  The  village of Southampton may so elect by
 filing with the state comptroller, on or before  December  31,  2011,  a
 resolution of its legislative body together with certification that such
 police officer did not bar himself from participation in such retirement
 plan  as a result of his own negligence. Thereafter, such police officer
 may elect to be covered by  the  provisions  of  section  384-d  of  the
 retirement  and  social  security law, and shall be entitled to the full
 rights and benefits associated with  coverage  under  such  section,  by
 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.

       S. 3034                             2                            A. 4737
 filing  a request to that effect with the state comptroller on or before
 June 30, 2012.
 

S   2.  All  past  service  costs  associated  with  implementing  the
 provisions of this act shall be borne by the village of Southampton.
 

S 3. This act shall take effect immediately.
 FISCAL NOTE.--Pursuant to Legislative Law,

Section 50:

 This bill will allow the Village of Southampton to elect to reopen the
 provisions of

Section 384-d of the Retirement and  Social  Security  Law
 for police officer Theodore Raffel.
 If  this  bill is enacted, and officer Theodore Raffel becomes covered
 under

Section 384-d, we anticipate that there will  be  an  increase  of
 approximately  $10,200  in  the  annual  contributions of the Village of
 Southampton for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2012.
 In addition to the annual contributions discussed above, there will be
 an immediate past service cost of approximately $172,000 which would  be
 borne by the Village of Southampton as a one-time payment. This estimate
 is  based  on  the  assumption  that payment will be made on February 1,
 2012.
 This estimate, dated January 27, 2011 and intended for use only during
 the 2011 Legislative Session, is Fiscal Note No. 2011-101,  prepared  by
 the  Actuary for the New York State and Local Police and Fire Retirement
 System.
