AN ACT to amend the general city law, in  relation  to  authorizing  the
  city of New Rochelle to impose certain taxes on utilities

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

  Section 1. The opening paragraph of section 20-b of the  general  city
law,  as  amended by chapter 287 of the laws of 1979, is amended to read
as follows:
  Notwithstanding any other provisions of law to the contrary, any  city
of  this  state,  acting  through  its local legislative body, is hereby
authorized and empowered to adopt and amend local laws imposing  in  any
such  city a tax such as was imposed by section one hundred eighty-six-a
of the tax law, in effect on January first, nineteen hundred fifty-nine,
except that the rate thereof shall not exceed one per  centum  of  gross
income  or  of  gross operating income, as the case may be, and may make
provision for the collection thereof by the chief fiscal officer of such
city; provided, however, that the rate of such tax imposed by the cities
of Rochester, Buffalo [and], Yonkers AND NEW ROCHELLE shall  not  exceed
three  per centum of gross income or gross operating income, as the case
may be; and provided further that  nothing  herein  contained  shall  be
construed  so  as to prevent any city from adopting local laws exempting
from such tax omnibus corporations subject to  the  supervision  of  the
state  department of public service [under article three-a of the public
service law]. A tax imposed pursuant to this section shall have applica-
tion only within the territorial limits of any such city, and  shall  be
in addition to any and all other taxes. This section shall not authorize
the  imposition  of  a tax on any transaction originating or consummated
outside of the territorial limits of any such city, notwithstanding that
some act be necessarily performed with respect to such transaction with-
in such limits.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.

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