 AN ACT to amend the town law and the tax law, in relation to authorizing
   towns  in  the Peconic Bay region to establish community housing funds
   to be funded by a supplemental real estate transfer tax

   THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-

   Section  1. Legislative findings. The legislature hereby finds that an
 adequate supply of housing opportunities for all segments of the Peconic
 Bay community is critical to the future of the Peconic Bay region.
   The adverse impact resulting from the lack of housing opportunities is

 housing  crisis  for local families.   The demand for seasonal homes has
 driven up housing costs for local families. In the Peconic  Bay  region,
 more than 40% of all housing units are seasonal.
   The  unique  demographics and economics in the Peconic Bay region that
 have historically contributed to the housing  shortage  have  only  been
