   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. Subdivision 5 of section 1 of chapter 21  of  the  laws  of

 amended by chapter 82 of the laws of 2003 and the closing  paragraph  as
 amended  by  chapter  422  of  the  laws  of 2010, is amended to read as
 follows:
   5. Authority for local rent control legislation. Each  city  having  a
 population  of one million or more, acting through its local legislative
 body, may adopt and amend local laws or ordinances  in  respect  of  the
 establishment  or  designation  of  a  city housing rent agency. When it
 deems such action to be desirable or necessitated by local conditions in
 order to carry out the purposes of this section, such  city,  except  as
 hereinafter  provided, acting through its local legislative body and not
 otherwise, may adopt and amend local laws or ordinances  in  respect  of
 the  regulation  and  control  of  residential  rents, including but not
 limited to provision for the establishment  and  adjustment  of  maximum
 rents,  the  classification of housing accommodations, the regulation of
 evictions, and the enforcement of such local  laws  or  ordinances.  The
 validity  of  any  such local laws or ordinances, and the rules or regu-
 lations promulgated in accordance therewith, shall not  be  affected  by
 and need not be consistent with the state emergency housing rent control
 law  or  with rules and regulations of the state division of housing and
 community renewal.
