AN ACT in relation to granting Jo Ann H. Mattingly Tier II status in the
New York state and local employees' retirement system with a member-
ship date of January 24, 1975
The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-bly, do enact as follows:
1 Section 1. Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, Jo Ann H.
2 Mattingly, who is currently a Tier IV member of the New York state and
3 local employees' retirement system and currently employed by the Office
4 of Court Administration of the Fourth Department, and who was appointed
5 to a temporary, competitive civil service position from January 24, 1975
6 through December 31, 1977, and who, for reasons not ascribable to her
7 own negligence, failed to become a member of the New York state and
8 local employees' retirement system in 1975 when first appointed to the
9 temporary, competitive civil service position, shall be deemed to have
10 been a member of such retirement system on the date she first commenced
11 such employment on January 24, 1975 having Tier II status with every
12 right, benefit and privilege which would have been available to her on
13 such date.
14 § 2. All past service costs of implementing the provisions of this act
15 shall be borne by the state of New York.
16 § 3. This act shall take effect immediately.
FISCAL NOTE.--This bill will grant Tier 2 status in the New York State
and Local Employees' Retirement System to Jo Ann H. Mattingly, a current
Tier 4 member, by changing her date of membership to January 24, 1975,
the first date she was appointed to a temporary competitive civil

service position. Ms. Mattingly will receive a refund of all of her
member contributions.
If this legislation is enacted during the 2014 legislative session, we
anticipate that there will be an increase of approximately $3,400 in the
annual contributions of the State of New York for the fiscal year ending
March 31, 2015. In future years, this cost will vary as the billing
rates and salary of Jo Ann H. Mattingly change.
In addition to the annual contributions discussed above, there will be
an immediate past service cost of approximately $41,400 which will be
borne by the State of New York as a onetime payment. This estimate is
based on the assumption that payment will be made on March 1, 2015.

change was the same as that used in the March 31, 2013 actuarial valu-
