THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Section 2 of chapter 330 of the laws of 2011 amending the
town law relating to payments for certain school, fire, fire protection,
and ambulance districts for lands exempt from real property taxation for
purposes which implement the Peconic Bay community preservation fund, as
amended by chapter 396 of the laws of 2015, is amended to read as
follows:
S 2. Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, the town of
Southampton may make annual payments from its community preservation
fund to certain high-tax school, fire, fire protection, and ambulance
districts, as specified in this section, located either wholly or
partially within the Long Island Pine Barrens maritime reserve as
defined in subdivision 2 of section 57-0107 of the environmental conser-
vation law. Such payments may be made to mitigate the impact of the

tion of community character as defined in subdivision 4 of section 64-e
of the town law. The following districts shall be eligible: Riverhead
central school district, Hampton Bays union free school district, East-
port-South Manor central school district, East Quogue union free school
district, Riverhead fire district, Flanders fire district, Flanders -
Northampton ambulance district, and the North End Quogue fire protection
