AN ACT to amend the public lands law, in relation to certain state-

The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-bly, do enact as follows:
1 Section 1. Section 19-a of the public lands law is amended by adding a
2 new subdivision 2-b to read as follows:
3 2-b. (1) Notwithstanding any provision of this section to the contra-
4 ry, in addition to state aid otherwise payable pursuant to this section,
5 there shall be payable to any city located in a county in which there
6 has been constructed a state office building project known as the W.
7 Averell Harriman State Office Building Campus (more specifically identi-
8 fied on the assessment roll of such city as section, lot and block
9 numbers 53.00-1-2 and 53.00-1-9, respectively), state aid payable annu-
10 ally, in an amount equal to 1.75 percent of such aggregate assessed
11 values of such state office building project as it appeared on the two
12 thousand nine final assessment roll of such city.
13 (2) Such payments shall be for city purposes only, and shall begin on
14 June first, two thousand twenty-three and shall be payable for a period
15 of ten years. For greater certainty, such city's assessments for the
16 properties described in paragraph one of this subdivision are to remain
17 at such two thousand nine total assessed values, i.e. six hundred
18 sixty-three million nine hundred fifty thousand nine hundred dollars and
19 ten million four hundred nineteen thousand six hundred dollars, respec-
20 tively, throughout such ten year period, provided, however, if any
21 portion of the property is sold by the state of New York during this
22 period, then the sale price of such sale shall be deducted from its
23 appropriate above referenced total assessed value on the next succeeding
24 assessment roll, and such reduced total assessed value shall become the
25 new basis for determining the annual payment for that and each succeed-
26 ing year thereafter.
27 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
