                                      ___________
       Introduced  by  Sen.  RANZENHOFER -- read twice and ordered printed, and
         when printed to be committed to the Committee on Corporations, Author-
         ities and Commissions
       AN ACT to repeal certain provisions of the public authorities law relat-
         ing to certain authorities; and to transfer  any  books,  records  and
         remaining  rights  of  any  dissolved  authority  to  an  identifiable
         location
         THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
       BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
    1    Section  1. Legislative intent. It is hereby declared to be a substan-
    2  tial interest of this state that residents, governments  and  businesses
    3  have certainty in the corporate status and orderly dissolution of public
    4  authorities,  and that upon dissolution, their enabling statutes will be
    5  repealed and their books, records and remaining rights, if any, will  be
    6  transferred  to  the  municipality  for whose purpose the public benefit
    7  corporation was created. The welfare of the state necessitates  ensuring
    8  that  the proliferation of moribund public benefit corporations, such as
    9  those included in this act found to be defunct by the  comptroller,  the
   10  authorities  budget  office  and the New York state commission on public
   11  authority reform, does not continue unchecked.
   12    S 2. Title 18-A  of  article  7  of  the  public  authorities  law  is
   13  REPEALED.
   14    S 2-a. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, any
   15  existing  records,  property, rights, titles, and interest of the Sleepy
   16  Hollow parking authority shall vest in and be possessed by  the  village
   17  of Sleepy Hollow and its successors or assigns.
   18    S 3. Title 30 of article 8 of the public authorities law is REPEALED.
   19    S 3-a. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, any
   20  existing  facilities,  rights  and  property of the Western Finger Lakes
   21  solid waste management authority shall be disposed of as shall be agreed
   22  upon by all participating counties of the authority.
        EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                             [ ] is old law to be omitted.
                                                                  LBD10851-01-3
       S. 5141                             2
    1    S 4. Separability clause. If any clause, sentence, paragraph,  section
    2  or  part  of this act shall be adjudged by any court of competent juris-
    3  diction to be invalid such judgment shall not affect, impair or  invali-
    4  date  the  remainder of this act, but shall be confined in its operation
    5  to  the  clause,  sentence,  paragraph, section or part thereof directly
    6  involved in the controversy in  which  such  judgment  shall  have  been
    7  rendered.
    8    S  5.  This  act  shall take effect on the sixtieth day after it shall
    9  have become a law.
