N.Y. Public Authorities Law § 4000: Construction

§ 4000. Construction. This chapter shall not be considered a new act,

but a reenactment and a continuation of the several acts consolidated

herein; nor shall this chapter affect or impair any right, power or duty

conferred or imposed by any such act or any liability or right incurred

or action or proceeding taken thereunder.

Whenever the terms "condemnation" or "appropriation" or any other term

which refers to the taking of real property by exercise of the power of

eminent domain are used in this chapter such terms shall be deemed to

mean "acquisition" as such term is defined in section one hundred three

of the eminent domain procedure law.

Whenever the power to acquire real property by eminent domain

proceedings has been given to any public authority under this chapter or

any of its instrumentalities, such acquisition shall be pursuant to the

provisions of the eminent domain procedure law, and the provisions

contained herein relating to such power shall be given full force and

effect to the extent that they are consistent with the provisions of the

eminent domain procedure law and to the extent that any of such

provisions are inconsistent with the provisions of such law, the

provisions of the eminent domain procedure law shall be deemed to be

controlling.
