BILL NUMBER:S7074A

TITLE OF BILL:
An act to amend chapter 735 of the laws of 2006, amending the retirement
and social security law relating to permitting certain members of the
New York state and local police and fire retirement system to receive a
partial lump sum distribution upon retirement, in relation to the effec-
tiveness thereof

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
The Partial Lump Sum option that is currently available to certain
members of the New York State and local employees' retirement system as
well to certain members of the New York state and local police and fire
retirement system is set to expire on April 1, 2013. This legislation
shall make permanent the provisions set forth therein.

Section 1 - Shall make permanent the provisions of � 1100, by repealing
the expiration date of April 1, 2013.

JUSTIFICATION:
Under current law, Retirement and Social Security Law Section 1100, has
allowed certain members of the New York state and local employees'
retirement system and members of the New York state and local police and
fire retirement system to elect an optional form of retirement in the
form of a partial lump sum at retirement ("PLOP").  Since its inception,
the PLOP has proven to be a viable option for retiring members with no
adverse effects on the retirement system(s).  As already reported by the
New York State Comptroller, the PLOP has been revenue neutral to the
retirement system(s) and is a viable option for retirees wishing to
utilize their retiree benefits in an alternate manner.

FISCAL IMPACT:
See Fiscal note.

EFFECTIVE DATE:
Immediately.

AN ACT to amend chapter 735 of the laws of 2006, amending the retirement
 and  social security law relating to permitting certain members of the
 New York state and local police and fire retirement system to  receive
 a  partial  lump  sum distribution upon retirement, in relation to the
 effectiveness thereof
 THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

 

Section  1.

Section 2 of chapter 735 of the laws of 2006, amending the
 retirement and  social  security  law  relating  to  permitting  certain
 members  of  the  New  York  state  and local police and fire retirement
 system to receive a partial lump sum distribution  upon  retirement,  is
 amended to read as follows:

 

S  2. This act shall take effect April 1, 2008 [and shall expire April
 1, 2013 when upon such date the provisions of this act shall  be  deemed
 repealed].
 

S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
 FISCAL NOTE.--Pursuant to Legislative Law,

Section 50:

 This  bill  will  repeal  the  expiration  date  of April 1, 2013 from
 Section 2 of Chapter 735 of the laws of 2006, thereby making the Partial
 Lump Sum option permanent for members of the New York  State  and  Local
 Police and Fire System.
 If this legislation is enacted during the 2012 legislative session, we
 anticipate  that  there will not be costs for the lump sum payments made
 on and after April 1, 2013 since the payments are determined on an actu
 arially equivalent basis.
