  FISCAL NOTE. - Pursuant to Legislative law, section 50:
  This  bill would grant any Nassau County Tier 3, 4, 5 and 6 chief fire
marshal, assistant fire  marshal,  division  supervising  fire  marshal,
supervising  fire  marshal,  fire  marshal  and  fire marshal trainee an
enhanced disability benefit for injuries sustained in the performance of
duty. The benefit for a performance of duty disability would be  50%  of
final average salary.
  If  this  bill  is  enacted  during the 2015 session, there will be an
estimated increase of approximately $33,000 in the annual  contributions
of Nassau County for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015.
  In addition to the annual contributions discussed above, there will be
an  immediate past service cost of approximately $221,000 which would be
borne by Nassau County as a one-time payment. This estimate is based  on
the assumption that payment will be made on February 1, 2016.
  These  estimated costs above are based on 45 fire marshals employed by
Nassau County with a total estimated annual salary of approximately $4.8
million for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014.
  Summary of relevant resources:
  The membership data used in  measuring  the  impact  of  the  proposed
change  was  the same as that used in the March 31, 2014 actuarial valu-
ation.  Distributions and other statistics can  be  found  in  the  2014
Report  of  the  Actuary  and  the  2014  Comprehensive Annual Financial
Report.
  The actuarial assumptions and methods used are described in the  2010,
2011,  2012, 2013 and 2014 Annual Report to the Comptroller on Actuarial
Assumptions, 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, 2014
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 estimate, dated April 2, 2015, and intended for use  only  during
the  2015  Legislative  Session, is Fiscal Note No. 2015-76, prepared by
the Actuary for the New  York  State  and  Local  Employees'  Retirement
System.

  FISCAL NOTE. - Pursuant to Legislative Law, Section 50:
  This bill would grant any Nassau County Tier 3, 4, 5 and 6 chief  fire
marshal,  assistant  fire  marshal,  division  supervising fire marshal,
supervising fire marshal, fire  marshal  and  fire  marshal  trainee  an
enhanced disability benefit for injuries sustained in the performance of
duty.  The  benefit for a performance of duty disability would be 50% of
final average salary.
  If this bill is enacted during the 2015  session,  there  will  be  an
estimated  increase of approximately $33,000 in the annual contributions
of Nassau County for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015.
  In addition to the annual contributions discussed above, there will be
an immediate past service cost of $221,000 which may be borne by  Nassau
County  as  a one-time payment. This estimate is based on the assumption
that payment will be made on February 1, 2016. If Nassau  County  elects
to amortize this cost over a 15 year period, the cost for the first year
would be $23,300.
  These  estimated costs above are based on 45 fire marshals employed by
Nassau County with a total estimated annual salary of approximately $4.8
million for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014.
  Summary of relevant resources:
  The membership data used in  measuring  the  impact  of  the  proposed
change  was  the same as that used in the March 31, 2014 actuarial valu-
ation.  Distributions and other statistics can  be  found  in  the  2014
Report  of  the  Actuary  and  the  2014  Comprehensive Annual Financial
Report.
