AN ACT to amend the public authorities law, in relation  to  authorizing
  counties to adopt local laws regarding recycling material

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

  Section 1. Subdivision 3 of section 2050-t of the  public  authorities
law,  as added by chapter 936 of the laws of 1986, is amended to read as
follows:
  3. To further the governmental and  public  purposes  of  the  agency,
including  the  implementation  of  any  contract  or  proposed contract
contemplated by this title, the county shall have the power to adopt and
amend local laws imposing  appropriate  and  reasonable  limitations  on
competition  with respect to collecting, receiving, transporting, deliv-
ering, storing, processing, RECYCLING and disposing of  solid  waste  or
the  recovery by any means of any material or energy product or resource
therefrom, including, local laws requiring that all solid  waste  gener-
ated,  originated or brought within their respective boundaries, subject
to such exceptions as may be determined to be in  the  public  interest,
shall be delivered to a specified solid waste management-resource recov-
ery  facility; provided, however, that any such local law enacted by the
county shall take precedence over and shall supersede  any  inconsistent
provisions of any local law enacted by a municipality within the county.
Any  such  local  law  shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure
provided by the municipal home rule law, except that no such  local  law
shall  be  subject  to  either  mandatory or permissive referendum. [For
purposes of this subdivision, solid waste shall have the meaning  speci-
fied in this title, but shall not include any scrap or other material of
value separated from the waste stream and held for purposes of materials
recycling.]
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
