   in his disability pension
 
   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, James
 Mallan who commenced employment with the state department of correction-
 al services on May 30, 1988, and who through no negligence  of  his  own
 was  disabled  while  completing his training at the academy on June 29,
 1988 and who was granted disability retirement in  April  1990  at  one-
 third  of  his final salary, and who was reinstated by the state depart-
 ment of corrections and community supervision, shall have his retirement
 benefits calculated based on his final average salary at the time of his
 application for disability retirement benefits on February 28, 2008,  if
 he  shall  file an application therefor with the state comptroller on or
 before December 31, 2017.
