cle 3-A to read as follows:
                               ARTICLE 3-A
                   PAYMENT IN LIEU OF TAXES AGREEMENTS
SECTION 370. PAYMENT IN LIEU OF TAXES AGREEMENTS.
  S 370. PAYMENT IN LIEU OF TAXES AGREEMENTS. 1.  FOR  THE  PURPOSES  OF
THIS SECTION:
  (A) "LOCAL GOVERNMENT" SHALL MEAN ANY MUNICIPAL CORPORATION AS DEFINED
PURSUANT  TO  SECTION  TWO  OF  THE  GENERAL MUNICIPAL LAW OR ANY SCHOOL
DISTRICT OR BOARD OF COOPERATIVE EDUCATIONAL SERVICES.
  (B) "PAYMENT IN LIEU OF TAXES AGREEMENT" OR  "PILOT  AGREEMENT"  SHALL
MEAN  AN  AGREEMENT  ENTERED INTO BETWEEN A LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND ANOTHER

SOME  OR  ALL  OF  THE  TAX REVENUE LOST DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE USE OR

OF  SUCH  PAYMENT  IN  LIEU  OF  TAXES IS BASED ON AN ASSESSMENT OF SUCH
