                   IN ASSEMBLY
 
                                      April 5, 2016
                                       ___________
 
        Introduced  by M. of A. SKOUFIS -- read once and referred to the Commit-
          tee on Governmental Employees
 
        AN ACT to authorize Christopher Dyroff to file an application for retro-
          active membership in the New York state and local  employees'  retire-
          ment 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 to the contrary,
     2  Christopher Dyroff, a member of the New York state and local  employees'
     3  retirement  system,  who  on  October 16, 2008 commenced employment as a
     4  member of the planning board of the town of Highlands, in the county  of
     5  Orange,  a  participating employer, and who during May of 2015 commenced
     6  employment as a groundskeeper by the town of Haverstraw, in  the  county
     7  of  Rockland and became a member of such retirement system at that time,
     8  and who, for reasons not ascribable to his  own  negligence,  failed  to
     9  become  a  member  of the New York state and local employees' retirement
    10  system in 2008, shall be deemed to have joined such retirement system on
    11  October 16, 2008, the commencement of his employment as a member of  the
    12  planning  board of the town of Highlands, if within 1 year of the effec-
    13  tive date of this act he shall file an  application  therefor  with  the
    14  state  comptroller. Upon receipt of such application, Christopher Dyroff
    15  shall be deemed to have joined the New York state and  local  employees'
    16  retirement system during 2008.
    17    § 2. All past service costs of implementing the provisions of this act
    18  shall be borne by the town of Highlands, and there shall be no refund of
    19  member contributions to Christopher Dyroff.
    20    § 3. This act shall take effect immediately.
          FISCAL NOTE.--
          This  bill  will  grant  Tier 4 status in the New York State and Local
        Employees' Retirement System to Christopher Dyroff,  a  current  Tier  6
        member  employed  by  the  town  of  Haverstraw, by changing his date of
        membership to October 16, 2008, his first date of work with the town  of
        Highlands. There will be no refund of member contributions.

         EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                              [ ] is old law to be omitted.
                                                                   LBD13611-05-6
        A. 9718                             2
 
          If this legislation is enacted during the 2016 legislative session, we
        anticipate that there will be an increase of approximately $5,330 in the
        annual contributions of the tow of Haverstraw for the fiscal year ending
        March  31, 2017. In addition, there will be an increase of approximately
        $90  in  the  annual  contributions  of the town of Highlands. In future
        years, these costs will vary as the billing rates and salary of Christo-
        pher Dyroff change.
          In addition to the annual contritions discussed above, there  will  be
        an  immediate  past  service  cost of approximately $1,730 which will be
        borne by the town of Highlands as a one-time payment. This  estimate  is
        based on the assumption that payment will be made on February 1, 2017.
          Summary of relevant resources:
          The  membership  data  used  in  measuring  the impact of the proposed
        change was the same as that used in the March 31, 2015  actuarial  valu-
        ation.    Distributions  and  other  statistics can be found in the 2015
        Report of the  Actuary  and  the  2015  Comprehensive  Annual  Financial
        Report.

        Annual Report to the Comptroller on Actuarial Assumptions, and the Codes
        Rules and Regulations of the State of New York: Audit and Control.
          The Market Assets and GASB Disclosures are found in the March 31, 2015
