AN  ACT  in relation to taxes levied for library purposes by the village
  of Lakeview, Nassau county

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

  Section  1.  Notwithstanding the provisions of any general, special or
local law to the contrary, no tax shall be levied for  library  purposes
or services by the village of Lakeview, Nassau county, until such tax is
approved  by  a vote of the majority of the qualified voters voting in a
general village election  or  meeting  at  which  taxes  may  be  voted,
provided  that  due public notice of the proposed action shall have been
given. After such vote is  complete,  the  election  spectators,  ballot
clerks  or  appropriate  designated  official  shall  immediately canvas
publicly the ballots cast and the chairperson of the election or  appro-
priate  designated  official shall publicly announce the result.  Within
seventy-two hours of such announcement, the  chairperson,  the  election
inspectors  and ballot clerks, or appropriate designated official, shall
execute and file a certificate of the result  of  the  canvas  with  the
appropriate  library  officials  and the village clerk of the village of
Lakeview. Upon receiving such certification,  the  village  clerk  shall
notify  the  local assessor of such certified results. No voting results
affecting tax levies pursuant to this act shall apply to more  than  one
taxable  year per general village election or meeting at which taxes may
be voted.
  Except as otherwise provided by this act, the provisions of the educa-
tion law relating to public libraries shall  remain  applicable  to  the
village of Lakeview.
  S  2.  This  act  shall take effect immediately and shall apply to all
taxes, levied for library purposes or services by the village  of  Lake-
view,  Nassau  county,  and  taxable  years commencing on and after such
effective date.
