   permit the use of such real property for a farm operation
 
   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. Notwithstanding any provision of law to  the  contrary,  in
 the county of Suffolk, all interests or rights acquired in real property
 for  the  preservation of agricultural lands, pursuant to section 247 of
 the general municipal law, shall permit the use of such  property  as  a
 farm  operation.  For the purposes of this act, a "farm operation" shall
 have the same meaning as provided for in section 301 of the  agriculture
 and markets law.
   §  2.  Nothing in this act shall preclude the enactment of a local law
 to administer the interests or rights acquired in real property for  the
 preservation  of  agricultural  lands,  pursuant  to  section 247 of the
 general municipal law. Such local law may include but is not limited  to
 requiring  a  permit for new uses, buildings and structures on such real
 property, consistent with the definition of a farm operation. The grant-
 ing of a permit for uses, buildings, and structures  consistent  with  a
 farm operation shall not constitute alienation of any interest or rights
 in  real  property  acquired for the preservation of agricultural lands,
 pursuant to section 247 of the general municipal  law.  Such  local  law
 shall be subject to the provisions of section 308 of the agriculture and
 markets law protecting the right to farm.
