N.Y. Statute of Local Governments Law § 12: Effective date provisions of bills requiring re-enactment and approval

§ 12. Effective date provisions of bills requiring re-enactment and

approval. 1. Where a bill introduced in the legislature would have the

effect of repealing, diminishing, impairing or suspending a power

granted by this statute of local governments and thus would be

ineffective unless re-enacted and approved in the following calendar

year as provided by paragraph one of subdivision (b) of section two of

article nine of the constitution, the effective date provision thereof

shall read substantially as follows: "This act shall take effect

(specify effective date in event of re-enactment by legislature and

approval by governor in next calendar year), provided that it is

approved by the governor in accordance with paragraph one of subdivision

(b) of section two of article nine of the constitution and provided that

it is re-enacted by the legislature and approved by the governor in the

next calendar year in accordance with such paragraph."

2. Where a statute enacted in one year is introduced in the

legislature in the next calendar year for re-enactment by the

legislature and approval thereafter by the governor in accordance with

paragraph one of subdivision (b) of section two of article nine of the

constitution, the effective date provision thereof shall refer to the

enactment in the previous year and shall, in addition, provide

substantially as follows: "This act shall take effect (set forth the

effective date), provided that it is approved by the governor in

accordance with paragraph one of subdivision (b) of section two of

article nine of the constitution."
