The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-bly, do enact as follows:
1 Section 1. Section 3-504 of the election law is amended by adding a
2 new subdivision 5 to read as follows:
3 5. A building exempt from taxation shall be used whenever possible as
4 a polling place if it is situated in the same or a contiguous election
5 district, and may contain as many distinctly separate polling places as
6 public convenience may require. The expense, if any, incidental to its
7 use, shall be paid like the expense of other places of registration and
8 voting. If the board chooses a public building for such purpose, the
9 board or agency which controls such building must make available a room
10 or rooms in such building which are suitable for registration and voting
11 and which are as close as possible to a convenient entrance to such
12 building and must make available any such room or rooms which the board
13 determines are accessible to physically disabled voters as provided in
14 subdivision one-a of section 4-104 of this chapter.
15 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
[] is old law to be omitted.
