        AN ACT to amend the public authorities law,  in  relation  to  exempting
          Staten Island residents from Verrazzano-Narrows bridge tolls
 
          The  People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
 
     1    Section 1. The public authorities law  is  amended  by  adding  a  new
     2  section 553-l to read as follows:
     3    §  553-l. Verrazzano-Narrows bridge; Staten Island resident exemption.
     4  Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of law, but subject to agree-
     5  ments with noteholders and bondholders, the authority shall exempt resi-
     6  dents of the borough of Staten Island using a New York customer  service
     7  E-ZPass account on the Verrazzano-Narrows bridge from the payment of any
     8  tolls  therefor,  provided, however, that such exemption shall not apply
     9  to trips made by vehicles that are used for commercial purposes.  Appli-
    10  cation for such toll exemption shall be made in such manner as shall  be
    11  prescribed  by  the  authority and shall contain such information as the
    12  authority may reasonably require.
    13    § 2. This act shall take effect on the thirtieth day  after  it  shall
    14  have become a law. Effective immediately, the addition, amendment and/or
    15  repeal  of  any  rule  or regulation necessary for the implementation of
    16  this act on its effective date are authorized to be made  and  completed
    17  on or before such effective date.
