        AN  ACT to amend the highway law, in relation to providing that a county
          board of supervisors shall be authorized to require that a ferry shall
          carry without charge or fee of any kind for transportation any  member
          of  the  United  States  armed  forces in uniform during their term of
          enlistment in the service of the United States
 
          The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and  Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
 
     1    Section 1. Section 131-g of the highway law, as amended by chapter 897
     2  of the laws of 1971, is amended to read as follows:
     3    §  131-g. Regulation of toll rates. 1. Such boards shall have power by
     4  a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to authorize  an  alter-
     5  ation,  reduction  or change of the rates of toll charged or received by
     6  any turnpike, plank or gravel road, or other toll road within such coun-
     7  ty, or by any bridge company or ferry within such county, or, if  within
     8  more  than one county, then by joint action with the supervisors of such
     9  counties, provided such alteration shall be asked for by the  directors,
    10  trustees  or  owners of such road, bridge or ferry; but that no increase
    11  of toll shall be so authorized unless notice of such  proposed  increase
    12  shall have been published once each week for three successive weeks in a
    13  newspaper  having general circulation in each town in which such road or
    14  bridge is located or in which such  ferry  is  operated,  commencing  at
    15  least  thirty  days  prior  to  the  date of such authorization; and any
    16  alteration in rates of toll authorized by any board of  supervisors  may
    17  be  changed or modified by any subsequent board, on their own motion, by
    18  a like vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to such board;  but
    19  nothing  [herein]  in this section contained shall affect or abridge the
    20  powers of any city.
    21    2. In the case of rates of toll for a  ferry,  such  boards  shall  be
    22  authorized  to  adopt  a  local  law to provide that a ferry shall carry

    10  circumstances shall be held invalid, the remainder of this act  and  the
    11  application thereof shall not be affected thereby.
