  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  city  of  Amsterdam,  in  the county of Montgomery, a participating
employer in the New York state and  local  police  and  fire  retirement
system,  which  previously  elected  to  offer  the optional twenty year
retirement plan, established pursuant to section 384-d of the retirement
and social security law, to police officers employed by  such  city,  is
hereby  authorized  to make participation in such plan available to Joel
Lochner, a police officer employed by the city of  Amsterdam,  who,  for
reasons  not  ascribable  to  his own negligence failed to make a timely
application to participate in such optional twenty year retirement plan.
Thereafter, Joel Lochner, may elect to be covered by the  provisions  of
section  384-d  of  the  retirement  and social security law as a Tier 5
member, and shall be entitled to the full rights and benefits associated
with coverage under such section, by filing a  request  to  that  effect
with the state comptroller on or before December 31, 2013.
  S   2.  All  past  service  costs  associated  with  implementing  the
provisions of this act shall be borne by the city of Amsterdam  and  may
be amortized over a period of five years.
  S 3. This act shall take effect immediately.
  FISCAL  NOTE.--This  bill will allow the city of Amsterdam to elect to
reopen the provisions of Section 384-d  of  the  Retirement  and  Social
Security Law for police officer Joel Lochner.
  If  this  bill  were  enacted,  we  anticipate  that  there will be an
increase of approximately $3,600 in the annual contributions of the city
of Amsterdam for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014.

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