        AN ACT to amend the election law, in relation to lever voting machines
 
          The  People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
 
     1    Section 1. Subdivision 2 of section 15-114  of  the  election  law  is

     3  follows:
     4    2. Lever voting machines shall remain  locked  against  voting  for  a
     5  period of thirty days or until fifteen days before the next election, if
     6  such machines are needed for use at such next election. Provided however
     7  that a machine may be unlocked if a discrepancy discovered in the recan-
     8  vass  of  voting machines required by this chapter makes it necessary to
     9  examine the machine to determine if it has  malfunctioned  and  provided

    10  further that a machine may be opened and all the data and figures there-
    11  in  examined upon the order of any court or judge of competent jurisdic-
    12  tion.
    13    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately; provided,  however,  that
    14  the amendments to section 15-114 of the election law made by section one
    15  of this act shall not affect the expiration of such section and shall be
    16  deemed to expire therewith.
