The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-bly, do enact as follows:

15 counties outside the city of New York, or the town attorney for all
16 proceedings prosecuted by such town attorney for towns contained within
17 Nassau county, and, in the city of New York the corporation counsel of
18 the city of New York, to institute proceedings to collect such fine,
19 restitution or reparation.
