2. The benefits provided by paragraph one of this subdivision shall be conditioned upon the participating employer electing within three years of the effective date of this subdivision, in a manner similar to the election stipulated in subdivision b of section three hundred thirty of this article, to provide such benefits and to assume the additional cost of such benefits for all officers and members of its organized police department who otherwise would be covered by the retirement plan provided by section three hundred eighty-seven-a of this article. § 2.

FISCAL NOTE. -This bill would allow Suffolk County to elect the provisions of Section 384-d of the Retirement and Social Security Law for certain members of the Suffolk County police department who are currently covered by the provisions of Section 387-a of such Law. The County would have three (3) years from the effective date of the bill to make this election.

If this bill were enacted and Suffolk County were to elect these benefits, it is estimated that there would be an additional annual cost to the County of approximately $15,000 for the fiscal year ending March 31, 1993.

In addition to the annual cost discussed above, there will be an immediate past service cost of approximately $250 which will be borne by Suffolk County as a one-time payment.

This estimated cost is based on seven (7) police officers who are employed by the Suffolk County police department and assumes that the County will elect this benefit by March 31, 1993.
