taxation for purposes which implement the Peconic Bay community preser-
vation fund, and permitting the town of Southampton to make such
payments in certain cases, is amended to read as follows:
S 2. Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, the town of

districts, as specified in this section, located either wholly or
partially within the central Pine Barrens area as defined in subdivision

federal, state, or local government for the preservation of community
character as defined in subdivision 4 of section 64-e of the town law.
