     8  to  allow  any  call  to 911 on the system to be directly connected to a
     9  public service answering point; provided however, that in  the  case  of
    10  public  buildings  governed  by  section three hundred fifty-five or six
    11  thousand two hundred four of the  education  law  which  have  on-campus

    26    §  2.  This  act  shall  take  effect on the same date and in the same
    27  manner as a chapter of the laws of  2019,  amending  the  executive  law
    28  relating  to  direct  dialing  to  public  service  answering points, as
    29  proposed in legislative bills numbers S. 4756 and A. 458, takes effect.
