          The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and  Assem-

     1    Section 1. Section 383 of the executive law is amended by adding a new
     2  subdivision 5 to read as follows:
     3    5.  Notwithstanding  any  provision  of  law to the contrary, the code
     4  shall apply to all buildings and structures owned by or in  which  space
     5  is  leased  by state agencies and covered authorities, as such terms are
     6  defined in section two-a of the state finance law, irrespective of  when
     7  such  buildings  or  structures were built or put into service. Existing
     8  buildings and structures constructed before the effective date  of  this
     9  subdivision  shall  be  subject  to  the  code pursuant to a staged plan
    10  developed by the office of  general  services,  which  may  provide  for
    11  compliance  over  a period of not more than five years, or if the office
    12  of general services shall determine that  there  are  reasons  requiring
    13  delay,  within  ten years, unless such building or structure is altered,
    14  in which case the code shall immediately apply  to  all  alterations  to
    15  such  building  or  structure  provided, however, that subsequent to the
    16  effective date of this subdivision, the legislature may exempt a specif-
    17  ic building or  structure,  which  shall  be  identified  by  its  legal
    18  description  and  street  address, if applicable, from the provisions of
    19  this subdivision.
    20    § 2. This act shall take effect on the one hundred eightieth day after
    21  it shall have become a law.
