AN ACT in relation to authorizing the Bay Park fire district  to  refund
  and pay a portion of the existing funds in its capital reserve account
  to the taxpayers of the district

  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, including but not limited to any provision
set forth in section 6-g of the general municipal law, the Bay Park fire
district in the town of Hempstead, county of Nassau, is  hereby  author-
ized to refund and pay to the taxpayers of the district a portion of the
unexpended  funds  contained  in the district's existing capital reserve
fund, as provided in accordance with this act.
  S 2. Such refund shall be of an amount to be determined by  resolution
of  the  board  of  fire  commissioners of the district, except that the
total amount of the refund shall not exceed such aggregate sum as  would
leave  less  than $25,000.00 remaining in the fund for use in connection
with future capital expenditures. The board of  fire  commissioners,  by
resolution, may order that the refund be distributed to the taxpayers in
one  lump  sum,  or  in  equal installments over a period of consecutive
years, not to exceed five years. The refund shall  be  provided  to  the
owners  of  the taxable properties of the district, in proportion to the
assessed valuations of such properties that are in effect during the tax
year in which the refund or any part thereof is provided.
  S 3. This authorization shall  apply  only  to  funds  placed  in  the
district's  capital  reserve account prior to the effective date of this
act, and any interest thereon.
  S 4. This act shall take effect immediately.
