    1    Section  1.  Notwithstanding  any  other  provision of law, Michael P.
    2  Koval, who was a police officer in the village of Watkins Glen, for  the
    3  period from September 6, 1988 through July 1, 1991, and who is currently
    4  an  officer  with  the  city  of  Ithaca police department, and who is a
    5  member of the New York  state  and  local  police  and  fire  retirement
    6  system,  and  who,  for reasons not ascribable to his own negligence did
    7  not receive service credit toward his optional 20 year  retirement  plan
    8  for such period, shall be entitled to receive service credit toward such
    9  plan for such period if, within one year from the effective date of this
   10  act,  he  files  a  written  request to that effect with the state comp-
   11  troller.
   12    S 2. All past service costs associated with the implementation of this
   13  act shall be borne by the village of Watkins Glen.
   14    S 3. This act shall take effect immediately.
         FISCAL NOTE.--This bill  will  allow  Police  Officer  Michael  Koval,
       currently  employed  by  the City of Ithaca, to receive credit under the
       provisions of Section 384-d of the Retirement and  Social  Security  Law
       for the period from September 6, 1988 through July 1, 1991 when he was a
       police officer with the Village of Watkins Glen.
         If this bill is enacted, we anticipate that there will be an immediate
       past  service  cost of approximately $66,000, which will be borne by the
       Village of Watkins Glen as a one-time payment. This estimate  assumes  a
       February 1, 2012 payment date.
