2 law, as amended by chapter 623 of the laws of 1998, is amended to read
3 as follows:
4 1. In addition to any other general or special powers vested in munic-
5 ipal corporations, districts, and school districts for the performance
6 of their respective functions, powers or duties on an individual,
7 cooperative, joint or contract basis, municipal corporations, districts
8 and school districts shall have power to enter into, amend, cancel and
9 terminate agreements for the performance among themselves or one for the
10 other of their respective functions, powers and duties on a cooperative
11 or contract basis or for the provision of a joint service or a joint
12 water, sewage or drainage project. Notwithstanding the foregoing grant
13 of authority, the temporary investment of moneys by more than one munic-
14 ipal corporation, district or school district pursuant to a municipal
15 cooperation agreement which meets the definition of "cooperative invest-
16 ment agreement" as set forth in article three-A of this chapter shall be
17 in compliance with all of the requirements of that article. Any agree-
18 ment entered into hereunder shall be approved by each participating
19 municipal corporation, district or school district by a majority vote of

21 municipal corporation or district to perform by itself any function,
22 power and duty or to provide by itself any facility, service, activity,
23 project or undertaking or the financing thereof is, by any other general
24 or special law, subject to a public hearing, a mandatory or permissive
25 referendum, consents of governmental agencies, or other requirements
26 applicable to the making of contracts, then its right to participate in
27 an agreement hereunder shall be similarly conditioned.
28 § 2. This act shall take effect July 1, 2011.
