AN ACT in relation to authorizing the public  service  commission,  upon
  application by a municipality, to order costs for infrastructure main-
  tenance  and  access  to be charged to all customer classes located in
  such municipality

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

  Section  1. 1. Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, a municipality
may apply to the public service commission to have any costs for infras-
tructure maintenance and access it is charged by  a  water-works  corpo-
ration to instead be charged to all customers across all customer class-
es  located  in  the  municipality  provided the municipality has held a
public hearing on the matter and has adopted a resolution and determined
by a majority vote of the total voting strength of  its  governing  body
that  it is in the overall public interest to have such costs charged to
all customers across all customer classes.   Any savings achieved  as  a
result  of  this action shall be applied to the property tax levy of the
municipality which has adopted such a resolution in an amount  equal  to
such  savings  in  the  following  fiscal  year.   Within 120 days after
receiving an application  pursuant  to  this  act,  the  public  service
commission  is  empowered  and directed to issue an order requiring that
costs for infrastructure maintenance and access be included in the rates
charged to all customer classes  and  apportioned  among  all  customers
located  in  the  municipality  and  that such municipality shall not be
charged separately or additionally for costs for infrastructure  mainte-
nance and access.  The public service commission shall have the power to
request  any information that it may deem necessary from the water-works
corporation or municipality so that it may issue an order as required by
this section and may require that such information or application be  in
the form and manner as the commission may request.

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