 AN ACT directing the port authority of New York to study  the  alignment
   of the Outerbridge Crossing, in order to widen the bridge and increase
   the flow of traffic
 
   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. 1. The port authority of New York shall conduct a study  to
 explore  the  alignment  of the Outerbridge Crossing in order to examine
 the feasibility of physically widening such bridge, which  would  result
 in an increase in the flow of traffic.
   2. Such study shall examine the alignment of the Outerbridge Crossing,
 with  attention to the surrounding private property in the area in which
 the bridge is located and to determine which of those  properties  would
 need  to be acquired by the port authority of New York in order to effi-
 ciently expand the bridge to accomplish the goal of increasing the  flow
 of traffic.
   3.  Prior to the expiration of its existing study into the Outerbridge
 Crossing, the port authority of New York shall issue  a  report  of  its
 findings  on  the alignment of the Outerbridge Crossing to the governor,
 the temporary president of the senate and the speaker of the assembly of
 the state of New York, as well as to the governor of the  state  of  New
 Jersey. Such report shall include, but not be limited to, the following:
   (a) actions that can be implemented by the port authority immediately,
 a  plan of action for such implementation, and the estimated cost of the
 implementation plan; and
   (b) which, if any, surrounding property would need to be acquired  and
 the estimated cost of acquiring such property.

   §  2.  This  act  shall take effect upon the enactment into law by the
 state of New Jersey of legislation having an identical effect with  this
 act,  but  if  the  state  of New Jersey shall have already enacted such
 legislation, this act shall take effect immediately; provided  that  the
 chairman  of  the port authority of New Jersey shall notify the legisla-
 tive bill drafting commission upon the occurrence of  the  enactment  of
 the  legislation  provided  for in section one of this act in order that
 the commission may maintain an accurate and timely effective  data  base
 of the official text of the laws of the state of New York in furtherance
 of  effectuating the provisions of section 44 of the legislative law and
 section 70-b of the public officers law.
