AN ACT to amend the general municipal law law, in relation to establish-
  ing the real property tax relief and local government  mandate  reform
  act

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

  Section 1.  Legislative findings and declarations.    The  legislature
hereby  finds  and determines that real property taxes in New York state
are too high, and that the burden that they  place  upon  our  citizens,
homeowners  and businesses, is making it difficult for New York state to
thrive, prosper and succeed.
  The legislature further finds and determines  that  the  only  way  to
realistically  reduce  the  real  property tax burden upon our citizens,
homeowners and businesses, is to place a comprehensive approach in state
law which  controls  costs  and  spending  for  local  governments,  and
provides  significant  mandate relief with respect to their fiscal obli-

  The legislature also finds and determines that the real  property  tax
relief and local government mandate reform must be achieved by a compre-
hensive  approach  to  reduce  real  property  taxes  across  the state,
controlling government costs, and the provision of  significant  mandate
relief to local governments.
  S  2.  Subdivision  1  of section 101 of the general municipal law, as
amended by section 1 of part MM of chapter 57 of the laws  of  2008,  is
amended and a new subdivision 1-a is added to read as follows:
  1.  Except  as otherwise provided in section two hundred twenty-two of
the labor law, OR SUBDIVISION ONE-A  OF  THIS  SECTION,  every  officer,
board  or  agency of a political subdivision or of any district therein,
charged with the duty of preparing specifications or awarding or  enter-
ing  into  contracts  for  the erection, construction, reconstruction or
