        AN ACT to amend the public authorities law, in relation  to  prohibiting

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

     1    Section 1. The opening paragraph of paragraph (a) and paragraph (b) of
     2  subdivision 1 of section 1902 of the public authorities law, as added by
     3  section 6 of part JJJ of chapter 58 of the laws of 2020, are amended  to
     4  read as follows:
     5    Locate,  identify  and assess sites within the state that appear suit-
     6  able for the development of build-ready sites with a priority  given  to
     7  previously developed sites, provided that viable agricultural land shall
     8  not  be  deemed suitable for the development of a build-ready site. Such
     9  assessment may include but need not be limited to the following  consid-
    10  erations:
    11    (b)  In  making  such  assessment the authority shall give priority to
    12  previously developed sites,  existing  or  abandoned  commercial  sites,
    13  including  without  limitation brownfields, landfills, former commercial
    14  or industrial sites, dormant electric  generating  sites,  or  otherwise
    15  underutilized  sites,  provided  that  the  authority shall not deem any
    16  viable agricultural land to be an otherwise underutilized site  for  the
    17  purposes of this section;
    18    §  2.  This  act  shall take effect immediately and shall be deemed to
    19  have been in full force and effect on and after April 3, 2020; provided,
    20  however, that the amendments to section 1902 of the  public  authorities
    21  law,  made  by  section  one of this act, shall not affect the repeal of
    22  such section and shall be deemed to be repealed therewith.
