    1    Section 1. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary,
    2  Kelly Story, who was employed from April 25, 1994 through June 2008 as a
    3  teacher's aide at the Buffalo Central School District, an employer which
    4  participates  in  the  New  York  state  and local employees' retirement
    5  system, shall be deemed to have been in the service upon  which  member-
    6  ship is based for the purpose of qualifying for the ordinary death bene-
    7  fit  provided  by section 606 of the retirement and social security law,
    8  and the designated  beneficiary  of  Kelly  Story,  registration  number
    9  3747064-8,  shall  be  eligible  to  receive from the New York state and
   10  local employees' retirement system such benefit payable  on  account  of
   11  the death of Kelly Story, by filing the appropriate application therefor
   12  with  the  New  York  state and local employees' retirement system on or
   13  before December 31, 2011.    All  costs  incurred  by  implementing  the
   14  provisions  of  this  act shall be borne by the New York state and local
   15  employees' retirement system.
   16    S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
         FISCAL NOTE.--This bill will deem the late Kelly A. Story's service as
       a Teacher's Aide with the City of Buffalo School District to be qualify-
       ing service for an Ordinary Death Benefit from the New  York  State  and
       Local Employees' Retirement System.
         If this bill is enacted, we anticipate that there will be an immediate
       past  service  cost of approximately $30,200 which would be borne by the
       State of New York and all the participating employers in  the  New  York
       State and Local Employees' Retirement System.
