        Introduced by M. of A. STIRPE -- read once and referred to the Committee
          on Governmental Employees
 
        AN ACT in relation to granting Michael Aregano additional service credit
          with the New York state and local police and fire retirement system
 
          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, Michael  Arega-
     2  no, currently a police officer with the Town of Cicero Police department
     3  and  member  of  the New York state and local police and fire retirement
     4  system covered under section 384-d of the retirement and social security
     5  law, who for the period beginning July 29, 2000 and ending  on  December
     6  22,  2000,  was  employed  as a police officer by the Town of Cicero and
     7  enrolled in the Black River/St. Lawrence Valley Law Enforcement Training
     8  Academy, and who, for reasons not ascribable to his own negligence,  was
     9  not  granted service credit for his period of training, shall be granted
    10  such service credit under section 384-d of  the  retirement  and  social
    11  security law, if on or before the thirty-first of December next succeed-
    12  ing  the  effective date of this act, he shall file a written request to
    13  that effect with the state comptroller.
    14    § 2. All past service costs incurred in implementing the provisions of
    15  this act shall be borne by the Town of Cicero.
    16    § 3. This act shall take effect immediately.
          FISCAL NOTE.-- Pursuant to Legislative Law, Section 50:
          This bill would grant  service  credit  under  section  384-d  of  the
        Retirement  and  Social Security Law to Michael Aregano, a member of the
        New York State and Local Police and Fire Retirement System  employed  by
        the  Town of Cicero, for the period of July 29, 2000 through December 22
        2000, during which he was  enrolled  in  the  Black  River/St.  Lawrence
        Valley Law Enforcement Training Academy ("the academy"). Officer Aregano
        was  not  compensated for the training he received at the academy during
        the time at which he was enrolled. Thus this bill would not be  consist-
 
         EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                              [ ] is old law to be omitted.
                                                                   LBD11374-04-1
        A. 7792                             2
 
        ent  with  New York State and Local Retirement System policy of granting
        service credit only when a salary has been paid.
          If  this  bill  is  enacted during the 2021 legislative session, there
        will be an immediate past service cost of  approximately  $24,300  which
        will  be  borne by the Town of Cicero as a one-time payment.  This esti-
        mate is based on the assumption that payment will be made on February 1,
        2022.
          There will be no increase in the annual contributions of the  Town  of
        Cicero.
