  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, David

ment  system  having  Tier  IV  status,  who was employed by the Town of
Little Falls commencing on February 16, 1972 and who,  for  reasons  not
ascribable  to  his  own  negligence,  failed to become a member of such
retirement system during such employment by the Town  of  Little  Falls,
shall  be  deemed to have joined the New York state and local employees'
retirement system on February 16, 1972 and shall be retroactively grant-
ed the benefits of Tier I status in such retirement system,  if,  within
one  year  of  the  effective  date of this act, he shall file a written
request to that effect with the state comptroller.
  S 2. All past service costs of implementing the provisions of this act
shall be borne by the Thruway Authority.

utions shall be returned to David A. Reardon.

1972, his first date of employment with the Town of Little Falls, there-
by granting him Tier 1 status. No member contributions will be refunded.
  If  this bill is enacted, we anticipate that there will be an increase
of approximately $6,500 in  the  annual  contributions  of  the  Thruway
Authority for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014.

S. 3815--A                          2

  If this bill is enacted, we anticipate that there will be an  increase
of  approximately  $6,700  in  the  annual  contributions of the Thruway

an  immediate  past  service cost of approximately $57,000 which will be
borne by the Thruway Authority as a one-time payment. This  estimate  is
based on the assumption that payment will be made on February 1, 2015.

change was the same as that used in the March 31, 2013  actuarial  valu-
ation.    Distributions  and  other  statistics can be found in the 2013
Report of the  Actuary  and  the  2013  Comprehensive  Annual  Financial
