   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. Section 387 of the general business law, as  amended  by  a
 chapter  of  the laws of 2017 amending the general business law relating
 to articles of bedding, as proposed  in  legislative  bills  numbers  S.
 587-a and A. 5227-a, is amended to read as follows:
   §  387.  Inspections.  Every place where articles of bedding are made,
 remade or renovated, or materials therefor are prepared  or  sterilized,
 or  where  such  articles  or  materials  are  sold, shall be subject to
 inspection by the secretary of state who shall have power to inspect the
 manufacture, sale or delivery, and sanitization of all articles or mate-
 rials covered by this article, to open and examine the contents  thereof
 and  power  to  seize  and  hold for evidence any article of bedding, in
 whole or in part, which the secretary has reason to believe is  made  or
 sold  or  held in possession in violation of this article. The frequency
 of such inspections shall be at  the  discretion  of  the  secretary  of
 state[,  provided,  however,  that every place where articles of bedding
 are made, remade or renovated, or materials  therefor  are  prepared  or
 sterilized,  or  where  such  articles  or  materials are sold, shall be
 inspected at least once during any continuous three year period in which
 such place is registered pursuant to this article]. For the  purpose  of
 administering and enforcing the provisions of this article the secretary
 shall  have and may use the powers conferred on him by the executive law
 in addition to the powers conferred in this article.
   § 2. This act shall take effect on the  same  date  and  in  the  same
 manner  as  a  chapter of the laws of 2017 amending the general business
 law relating to articles of bedding, as proposed  in  legislative  bills
 numbers S. 587-a and A. 5227-a, takes effect.
