  THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-

  Section  1.  The  public  authorities  law  is amended by adding a new
section 1078-f to read as follows:
  S 1078-F. LIENS AGAINST USERS FOR NON-PAYMENT. FEES, RATES,  RENTS  OR
OTHER  CHARGES,  IF NOT PAID, WHEN DUE, SHALL CONSTITUTE A LIEN UPON THE
PREMISES SERVED AND A CHARGE AGAINST THE OWNERS THEREOF, WHICH LIEN  AND
CHARGE SHALL BEAR INTEREST AT THE SAME RATE AS WOULD UNPAID TAXES OF THE
COUNTY  OF SUFFOLK. SUCH LIEN SHALL TAKE PRECEDENCE OVER ALL OTHER LIENS
OR ENCUMBRANCES, EXCEPT TAXES, AND MAY BE FORECLOSED AGAINST THE LOT  OR
BUILDING SERVED IN THE SAME MANNER AS A LIEN FOR SUCH TAXES.  THE AMOUNT
WHICH  REMAINS  DUE AND UNPAID FOR SIXTY DAYS MAY, WITH INTEREST THEREON
AT THE SAME RATE AS UNPAID COUNTY TAXES AND WITH  REASONABLE  ATTORNEYS'
FEES, BE RECOVERED BY THE AUTHORITY IN A CIVIL ACTION IN THE NAME OF THE
AUTHORITY AGAINST SUCH OWNERS. THE COUNTY OF SUFFOLK AND ANY STATE AGEN-
CY  SHALL  BE  SUBJECT  TO  THE SAME FEES, RATES, RENTS OR OTHER CHARGES
UNDER THE SAME CONDITIONS AS OTHER USERS OF SUCH WATER  SYSTEM,  AS  THE
CASE MAY BE.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
