N.Y. Municipal Home Rule § 22: Effect of local laws on acts of legislature or prior local laws or ordinances

§ 22. Effect of local laws on acts of legislature or prior local laws

or ordinances. 1. In adopting a local law changing or superseding any

provision of a state statute or of a prior local law or ordinance, the

legislative body shall specify the chapter or local law or ordinance,

number and year of enactment, section, subsection or subdivision, which

it is intended to change or supersede, but the failure so to specify

shall not affect the validity of such local law. Such a superseding

local law may contain the text of such statute, local law or ordinance,

section, subsection or subdivision and may indicate the changes to be

effected in its text or application to such local government by

enclosing in brackets, or running a line through, the matter to be

eliminated therefrom and italicizing or underscoring new matter to be

included therein.

2. No local law shall supersede any provision of a state statute

except as authorized by the constitution, this chapter or any other

state statute.
