AN ACT in relation to authorizing the commissioner of transportation  to
  issue a permit exempting certain signs

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

  Section 1.  Notwithstanding the provisions of section 88 of the  high-
way  law,  or  any regulations adopted pursuant to such law, the commis-
sioner of transportation is hereby authorized to allow  to  continue  to
exist  a  sign located along state route three in the city of Watertown,
county of Jefferson that is otherwise in conformance with the provisions
of such law and regulations and constructed in reliance upon a  building
permit  issued by such city in 2008; provided, however, that application
for a permit is made to the commissioner of  transportation  within  180
days  of  the effective date of this act. Such application shall contain
proof, satisfactory to the commissioner  of  transportation,  that  such
sign was constructed  in reliance upon such building permit.
  S  2.  This  act shall be deemed repealed if any federal agency or any
court of competent jurisdiction determines that this  act  would  render
New York state ineligible for the receipt of federal funds.
  S  3.  This shall take effect immediately; provided, however, that the
commissioner of the department of transportation shall notify the legis-
lative bill drafting commission upon the occurrence of the provisions of
section two of this act in order that the  commission  may  maintain  an
accurate  data base of the official text of the laws of the state of New
York in furtherance of effecting the provisions of  section  44  of  the
legislative law and section 70-b of the public officers law.
