read as follows:
  1. A county, city, town, village or school district acting through its
local legislative body is hereby authorized and empowered to  adopt  and
amend  local  laws,  or  resolutions in the case of school districts, to
provide for an exemption from taxation to the extent of any increase  in
assessed  value  of residential property resulting from the construction
or reconstruction of such property for the purpose of  providing  living
quarters  for  a parent or grandparent, who is sixty-two years of age or
older, OR ANOTHER ELIGIBLE PERSON, AS DEFINED IN SUBDIVISION  FIVE-A  OF
THIS  SECTION.    Such  exemption  shall  not exceed (a) the increase in

property as improved, or (c) twenty percent of the median sale price  of
residential  property  as  reported in the most recent sales statistical
summary published by the state board for the county in which the proper-
ty is located, whichever is less.
  3. Such exemption shall be applicable only to construction  or  recon-
struction  which  occurred  subsequent  to  the  effective  date of this
section and shall only apply during taxable years during which at  least
one such parent [or], grandparent OR ELIGIBLE PERSON maintains a primary
place of residence in such living quarters.
