AN ACT to amend the real property tax  law,  in  relation  to  veterans'
  exemptions  from  taxation  for local school purposes in cities with a
  population of one million or more

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

  Section  1.  Paragraph  3  of subdivision 1 of section 458 of the real
property tax law, as amended by chapter 733 of  the  laws  of  1959,  is
amended to read as follows:
  (3)  If  the assessors are satisfied that the applicant is entitled to
any exemption, they shall make appropriate entries upon the  assessment-
roll  opposite  the  description of such property and subtract the total
amount of such exemption from the total amount assessed pursuant to  the
provisions  of  paragraph one of this subdivision. Such entries shall be
made and continued in each assessment of the property so long as  it  is
exempt  from taxation for any purpose. Such real property, to the extent
of the exemption entered by the assessors, shall be exempt  from  state,
county  and  general  municipal taxation, but shall be taxable for local
school purposes, EXCEPT THAT IN CITIES WITH A POPULATION OF ONE  MILLION
OR  MORE,  SUCH  EXEMPTION  SHALL  APPLY  TO  TAXATION  FOR LOCAL SCHOOL
PURPOSES.  The provisions [herein] IN THIS PARAGRAPH,  relating  to  the
assessment and exemption of property purchased with eligible funds apply
and  shall  be enforced in each municipal corporation authorized to levy
taxes.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
