AN ACT to amend the public authorities law, in relation to the Long
Island Rail Road weekend reduced fare program
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Short title. This act shall be known as the "Long Island
Rail Road Fare Act".
§ 2. Legislative findings. The New York state legislature has found
that on the weekends the Long Island Rail Road, a subsidiary of the
Metropolitan Transportation Authority, provides reduced fare between the
hours of 12:01 AM Saturday until 11:59 AM Sunday at certain station
locations. Passengers traveling to and from locations within New York
city should not forfeit their enjoyment of such reduced fare because
their train happens to pass through Nassau county.
§ 3. Section 1266 of the public authorities law is amended by adding
a new subdivision 14-a to read as follows:
14-A. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISIONS OF LAW OR THE TERMS OF ANY
CONTRACT, THE LONG ISLAND RAIL ROAD SHALL INCLUDE FAR ROCKAWAY STATION
IN ITS NEW YORK CITY WEEKEND REDUCED FARE PROGRAM. SUCH STATION SHALL
ENJOY THE SAME BENEFITS AS ALL OTHER STATIONS INCLUDED IN SUCH PROGRAM.
§ 4. This act shall take effect April 1, 2020.
EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
[ ] is old law to be omitted.
