    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 city of Ithaca.
   14    S 3. This act shall take effect immediately.
         FISCAL NOTE.--This bill  will  allow  Police  Officer  Michael  Koval,

       for the period from September 6, 1988 through July 1, 1991 when he was a
       police officer with the Village of Watkins Glen.
