AN  ACT  to  authorize municipalities located in the county of Orange to
  charge for the cost of providing additional police protection to paid-
  admission events

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

  Section  1. Any municipality located in the county of Orange is hereby
authorized to adopt a local law to provide that the  person  or  persons
responsible  for  either operating, conducting, promoting, or sponsoring
any special event, exhibition, or contest to be  held  in  such  munici-
pality, at which a price for admission or attendance is charged or is to
be  charged,  shall  pay  the  costs  incurred by such municipality as a
result of providing additional police  personnel,  if  any,  beyond  the
normal  number  of  officers  who would have otherwise been on duty. The
local law shall identify the type or types of  special  events,  exhibi-
tions,  or  contests for which an activity's operator, conductor, promo-
ter, or sponsor may be charged for additional police personnel  that  is
either  requested  by  the  operator, conductor, promoter, or sponsor or
determined to be necessary by the municipality. The local law  may  also
provide  that:  (a) the operator, conductor, promoter, or sponsor of the
activity shall complete such forms or applications providing the  infor-
mation  deemed  necessary  by  the municipality to determine whether any
additional police personnel should be scheduled for the event;  (b)  the
local  law  shall not apply to any corporation formed under the not-for-
profit corporation law; and (c) the operator,  conductor,  promoter,  or
sponsor of the activity shall pay all or a portion of the estimated cost
of additional police protection prior to the commencement of the event.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.

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