AN  ACT to amend the navigation law, in relation to time restrictions on
  continuous pilotage on vessels transiting the Hudson River

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

  Section  1.    Subparagraph  1-a  of paragraph (b) of subdivision 4 of
section 89-a of the navigation law, as amended by  chapter  482  of  the
laws of 2003, is amended to read as follows:
  (1-a) All vessels shall pay an additional launch fee and communication
fee. The launch fee shall be set by the board of commissioners of pilots
to  recoup  the  cost  of  operating a pilot launch and pilot station at
Yonkers. The communication fee shall be set by the board of  commission-
ers  of  pilots  to recoup the cost of portable electronic communication
and navigation equipment carried aboard the vessel by the pilot.
  All vessels transiting Section 2, Upper River; Yonkers, to beyond Hyde
Park through Albany or Troy shall pay a mid-river launch fee.  The  mid-
river launch fee shall be set by the board of commissioners of pilots to
recoup  the cost of operating a pilot launch and pilot station at Norrie
Point.
  The launch fee, communication fee, and mid-river launch fee  shall  be
reviewed  annually  by  the board of commissioners of pilots on or about
the anniversary date upon which this section shall have become a law.
  In the event a vessel transiting the Hudson River requires  a  contin-
uous  pilotage  of  more  than  [eight]  TEN  hours, two pilots shall be
assigned at the beginning of such transit, and  the  fee  shall  be  the
regular  pilotage  fee  plus fifty percent for the second pilot. The fee
for the second pilot shall not apply when the first pilot is  discharged
at  the mid-river pilot station and relieved at such station by a second
pilot. A second pilot shall not be required when the vessel anchors  for
a  minimum  of  eight  hours  such  that  the transit does not require a
continuous pilotage of more than [eight] TEN hours by one pilot.
  S 2. This act shall take effect on the  same  date  and  in  the  same
manner  as  a  chapter of the laws of 2015, amending the navigation law,

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