services. The annual report shall include any policies and procedures
that regulate additional police services, a summary of all additional
police services provided, and the revenue received for any additional
police services.
S 2. Any compact entered into between January 1, 1994 and January 1,
1996 between the New York City housing authority and the New York City
police department or the office of the mayor on behalf of the New York
City police department shall be deemed nullified by this section. If the
New York City housing authority is unable to nullify any such compact,
