Summary
This bill authorizes P'nina Gluck, an employee of the New York state assembly, to obtain Tier IV status in the New York state and local employees' retirement system and to be deemed a member as of January 1, 2004. Currently a Tier VI member, she failed to become a member in 2004 for reasons not within her control. To receive this benefit, she must file a written request with the state comptroller within one year of the law's effective date. Her member contributions will not be refunded, and the state will bear all past service costs associated with the change. The estimated state cost is approximately $9,700 annually beginning in 2027, plus a one-time past service cost of approximately $9,200.

AN ACT in relation to authorizing Tier IV status in the New York state and local employees' retirement system for P'nina Gluck
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 the law to the 2 contrary, P'nina Gluck, an employee of the New York state assembly and a 3 member the New York state and local employees' retirement system, who 4 was employed on January 1, 2004 who for reasons not ascribable to her 5 own negligence, failed to become a member of such retirement system in 6 2004, shall be deemed to have joined the New York state and local 7 employees' retirement system on the date January 1, 2004 and shall be 8 granted Tier IV status in such retirement system, if, within one year of 9 the effective date of this act, she shall file a written request with 10 the state comptroller. 11 § 2. No contributions made to the New York state and local employees' 12 retirement system by P'nina Gluck shall be returned or refunded to her 13 pursuant to this act. 14 § 3. All past service costs of implementing the provision of this act 15 shall be borne by the state of New York. 16 § 4. This act shall take effect immediately. FISCAL NOTE.--Pursuant to Legislative Law, Section 50: This bill would grant Tier 4 status in the New York State and Local Employees' Retirement System to P'nina Gluck, a current Tier 6 member employed by the New York state assembly, by changing their date of membership to January 1, 2004. There will be no refund of member contributions. We estimate that New York state's annual contributions will increase $9,700 beginning FYE 2027. Annual costs will vary as the billing rates and salary of P'nina Gluck change. In addition, there will be an immediate past service cost of $9,200 borne by New York state as a one-time payment. This cost assumes that payment will be made on March 1, 2027.
