 AN ACT to amend the public buildings law, in relation to prohibiting the
   sale of tobacco products at vending stands leasing space and in  vend-
   ing machines in a state building

   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. Paragraphs (a) and (b) of subdivision 13 of  section  3  of
 the  public  buildings  law, paragraph (a) as added by chapter 83 of the
 laws of 1995 and paragraph (b) as amended by chapter 265 of the laws  of
 2013, are amended to read as follows:
   (a)  In  his  or her discretion, lease space in any public building or
 other premises under his or her supervision  and  control,  pursuant  to
 this  article,  to any person, firm or corporation, for the operation of
 restaurants, retail stores, vending stands for the sale  of  newspapers,
 periodicals,  confections[,  tobacco  products]  and such other articles
 THAT ARE NOT TOBACCO PRODUCTS, as may be approved  by  the  commissioner
 for  each  stand,  and  for  bootblack  service. Any such lease shall be
 subject to such terms and conditions as he or she may deem  proper,  but
 for  a  term not exceeding five years, except that the commissioner may,
 in his or her discretion, lease space for a term of not  more  than  ten
 years  where  extensive  renovation  or  repair to or improvement of the
 space is required of or by the lessee and  the  commissioner  determines
 that  it is reasonable for the costs thereof to be amortized over a term
 greater than five years. Nothing herein shall restrict the  commissioner
 from  providing  in  any such lease for its renewal or extension, at the
 commissioner's option, for terms of five  years  or  less.  However,  in
 order  to  provide  blind  persons with remunerative employment, enlarge
 their economic opportunities and facilitate their efforts  to  be  self-
 supporting,  whenever  feasible,  permits  shall  be  given to the state
 
  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.
