     1    Section  1.  Article 5-A of the agriculture and markets law is amended
     2  by adding a new section 96-aa to read as follows:
     3    § 96-aa. Moratorium on licenses. The legislature has found that  there
     4  are public health and safety concerns such as avian influenza associated
     5  with  establishments  that  slaughter  and  process  fowls  on-site  and
     6  furthermore that areas heavily populated with residences are  not  suit-
     7  able  locations  for  siting such businesses. The commissioner is hereby
     8  directed to institute a moratorium on the issuance of licenses  to  live
     9  poultry  markets  pursuant  to  section  ninety-six-b of this article in
    10  cities of one million or more.  During such moratorium the  commissioner
    11  shall  direct a study to be made regarding the aforesaid issues in order
    12  to prepare new or revise the old regulations regarding the licensing and
    13  operation of such establishments. Any party or person aggrieved  by  the
    14  moratorium may appeal to the commissioner who may grant any relief he or
    15  she feels justified.
    16    §  2.  This act shall take effect July 1, 2015 and shall expire and be
    17  deemed repealed July 1, 2016.
