The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-bly, do enact as follows:
1 Section 1. Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, the
2 village of Sagaponack in the county of Suffolk, may enforce through its
3 governing board, any interest acquired by a municipal corporation within
4 the incorporated village, pursuant to section 247 of the general munici-
5 pal law, notwithstanding the fact that the village was not an original
6 party to the acquisition, provided that a record of such acquisition is
7 filed in the manner provided by section 291 of the real property law.
8 Such enforceability shall not be defeated because of any subsequent
9 adverse possession, laches, estoppel, waiver, change in character of the
10 surrounding neighborhood or any rule of common law. No general law of
11 the state which operates to defeat the enforcement of any interest in
12 real property shall operate to defeat the enforcement of any acquisition
13 pursuant to this section, unless such general law expressly states the
14 intent to defeat the enforcement of any acquisition pursuant to this
15 section.
16 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
