        AN ACT to amend the  public  officers  law  and  the  election  law,  in
          relation  to  the  placement  of  certain  offices on general election
          ballots
 
          The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and  Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
 
     1    Section  1. Subdivision 1 of section 42 of the public officers law, as
     2  amended by chapter 878 of the laws  of  1946,  is  amended  to  read  as
     3  follows:
     4    1.  A  vacancy occurring before September twentieth of any year in any
     5  office authorized to be filled at a  general  election,  except  in  the
     6  offices  of  governor  or  lieutenant-governor,  shall  be filled at the
     7  general election held next thereafter, unless otherwise provided by  the
     8  constitution,  or unless previously filled at a special election. When a
     9  special election has not been called to fill a vacancy, and  the  office
    10  is  to  be  filled  at the general election for more than one sequential
    11  period, then such office shall appear only once on the  ballot  at  such
    12  general election.
    13    § 2. The election law is amended by adding a new section 6-149 to read
    14  as follows:
    15    §  6-149.  Filling  vacancies  at the general election. When a special
    16  election has not been called to fill a vacancy, and the office is to  be
    17  filled at the general election for more than one sequential period, then
    18  then  such  office  shall appear only once on the ballot at such general
    19  election.
    20    § 3. This act shall take effect immediately.
