AN ACT to amend the real property tax law, in relation  to  including  a
  four family dwelling within the definition of homestead class

  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. Paragraph (a) of subdivision 1 of section 1903 of the  real
property  tax  law,  as  amended  by chapter 355 of the laws of 1997, is
amended to read as follows:
  (a) The governing body of any approved assessing unit except a  county
may adopt the provisions of this section by local law without referendum
provided however, that the local law is enacted no later than sixty days
prior  to the completion of the tentative assessment roll to which it is
applicable. Upon such enactment the provisions of this section shall  be
applicable  to  taxes  levied  on  all final assessment rolls thereafter
filed and shall apply to the levy of taxes on all real property in  such
approved  assessing unit by such governing body and, where such approved
assessing unit  is  not  a  village,  by  each  school  district  wholly
contained within such approved assessing unit. Upon enacting a local law
pursuant  to  this paragraph, the governing body of a city or town shall
provide a copy of such local law  to  the  school  authorities  of  each
school district located wholly or partially within such city or town and
the  county  director of real property tax services.  The governing body
of a town shall also provide a copy of such local law to  the  governing
body  of each eligible non-assessing unit village. The governing body of
a village shall provide a copy of such local law to the county  director
of real property tax services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the school
authorities  of  any school district wholly contained within an approved
assessing unit may by resolution provide that  the  provisions  of  this
article  shall  not  apply  to  the  levy of school taxes in such school
district. In such case,  school  taxes  shall  be  levied  as  otherwise

 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
