  Section 1. Paragraph a of subdivision 4 of section 110 of the agricul-

  a. Any town or city or any village issuing licenses  pursuant  to  the
provisions  of  this article may, by local law or ordinance, set license
fees in addition to those set  by  subdivisions  one  and  two  of  this
section[,  provided that the total fee for an unspayed or unneutered dog
shall be at least five dollars more than the total fee for a  spayed  or
neutered  dog,  and further provided that such additional fees shall not
exceed, in the case of subdivision one of this section, ten dollars  for
each  year  or portion thereof for which a license is issued and, in the
case of subdivision two of  this  section,  twenty-five  dollars].  Such
additional  fees  shall  be the property of the municipality setting the
same and shall be used only for  controlling  dogs  and  enforcing  this
article  and  any  rule,  regulation,  or local law or ordinance adopted
pursuant thereto, including subsidizing the spaying or neutering of dogs
and any facility as authorized under section one  hundred  seventeen  of
this  article  used  therefor,  and  subsidizing public humane education
programs in responsible dog ownership.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
