Go to top STATE OF NEW YORK ________________________________________________________________________ 5075 2023-2024 Regular Sessions IN ASSEMBLY March 2, 2023 ___________ Introduced by M. of A. McDONALD -- read once and referred to the Commit- tee on Governmental Employees AN ACT to authorize William Schumaker and Mark Hennessy to receive certain service credit under section 384-d of the retirement and social security law The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem- bly, do enact as follows: 1 Section 1. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, 2 the city of Rensselaer, in the county of Rensselaer, a participating 3 employer in the New York state and local police and fire retirement 4 system, which previously elected to offer the optional twenty year 5 retirement plan, established pursuant to section 384-d of the retirement 6 and social security law, to firefighters employed by such city, is here- 7 by authorized to make participation in such plan available to William 8 Schumaker, a firefighter employed by the city of Rensselaer with a start 9 date of October 10, 1996, who, for reasons not ascribable to his own 10 negligence, failed to make a timely application to participate in such 11 optional twenty year retirement plan. The city of Rensselaer may so 12 elect by filing with the state comptroller, within six months from the 13 effective date of this act, a resolution of its local city common coun- 14 cil together with certification that such firefighter did not bar 15 himself from participation in such retirement plan as a result of his 16 own negligence. Thereafter, such firefighter may elect to be covered by 17 the provisions of section 384-d and 384-e of the retirement and social 18 security law, and shall be entitled to the full rights and benefits 19 associated with coverage under such section, by filing a request to that 20 effect with the state comptroller within the effective date of such 21 resolution. 22 § 2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, the 23 city of Rensselaer, in the county of Rensselaer, a participating employ- 24 er in the New York state and local police and fire retirement system, EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [] is old law to be omitted. A LBD05426-02-3A. 5075 2 1 which previously elected to offer the optional twenty year retirement 2 plan, established pursuant to section 384-d of the retirement and social 3 security law, to firefighters employed by such city, is hereby author- 4 ized to make participation in such plan available to Mark Hennessy, a 5 firefighter employed by the city of Rensselaer with a start date of 6 September 1, 2005, who for reasons not ascribable to his own negligence, 7 failed to make a timely application to participate in such optional 8 twenty year retirement plan. The city of Rensselaer may so elect by 9 filing with the state comptroller, within six months from the effective 10 date of this act, a resolution of its city common council together with 11 certification that such firefighter did not bar himself from partic- 12 ipation in such retirement plan as a result of his own negligence. 13 Thereafter, such firefighter may elect to be covered by the provisions 14 of section 384-d and 384-e of the retirement and social security law, 15 and shall be entitled to the full rights and benefits associated with 16 coverage under such section, by filing a request to that effect with the 17 state comptroller within the effective date of such resolution. 18 § 3. All past costs associated with implementing the provisions of 19 this act shall be borne by the city of Rensselaer and may be amortized 20 over a period of five years. 21 § 4. This act shall take effect immediately. FISCAL NOTE.--Pursuant to Legislative Law, Section 50: This bill would allow the City of Rensselaer to reopen the provisions of Section 384-d together with Section 384-e of the Retirement and Social Security Law for firefighters William Schumaker and Mark Hennes- sy, current members of the New York State and Local Police and Fire Retirement System. If this bill is enacted during the 2023 legislative session, and these two firefighters become covered under the provisions of Section 384-d together with Section 384-e, we anticipate that there will be an increase of approximately $23,000 in the annual contributions of the City of Rensselaer for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024. In future years, this cost will vary as the billing rates and salary of William Schumaker and Mark Hennessy change. In addition to the annual contributions discussed above, there will be an immediate past service cost of approximately $355,000 which will be borne by the City of Rensselaer as a one-time payment. This estimate assumes that payment will be made on February 1, 2024. If the City of Rensselaer elects to amortize this cost over a 5-year period, the cost for the first year including interest would be $79,300. Summary of relevant resources: Membership data as of March 31, 2022 was used in measuring the impact of the proposed change, the same data used in the April 1, 2022 actuari- al valuation. Distributions and other statistics can be found in the 2022 Report of the Actuary and the 2022 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report.
