   THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section  1.  Paragraph  a of section 11.00 of the local finance law is
 amended by adding a new subdivision 109 to read as follows:
   109. LEAD SERVICE LINE REPLACEMENT PROGRAMS ESTABLISHED BY  A  MUNICI-
 PALITY,  SCHOOL  DISTRICT  OR  DISTRICT  CORPORATION, INCLUDING, BUT NOT

 AND  PRIVATELY  OWNED  LEAD  SERVICE  LINES  WITHIN AN ESTABLISHED WATER

 MEANS  A SERVICE LINE MADE IN WHOLE OR IN PART OF LEAD, WHICH CONNECTS A
 WATER MAIN TO A BUILDING INLET. A LEAD SERVICE LINE MAY BE OWNED BY  THE
 WATER  SYSTEM,  A PROPERTY OWNER, OR BOTH. A LEAD GOOSENECK, PIGTAIL, OR
 CONNECTOR IS CONSIDERED A LEAD SERVICE LINE, REGARDLESS OF  THE  SERVICE
 LINE  MATERIAL  TO  WHICH  A  LEAD  GOOSENECK,  PIGTAIL, OR CONNECTOR IS
 ATTACHED. GOOSENECK, PIGTAIL, OR CONNECTOR  MEANS  A  SHORT  SECTION  OF
 PIPING, TYPICALLY NOT EXCEEDING TWO FEET, WHICH CAN BE BENT AND USED FOR
 CONNECTIONS  BETWEEN  RIGID  SERVICE  PIPING. A GALVANIZED IRON OR STEEL
 SERVICE LINE IS CONSIDERED A LEAD SERVICE LINE IF  IT  EVER  WAS  OR  IS
 CURRENTLY DOWNSTREAM OF ANY LEAD SERVICE LINE OR SERVICE LINE OF UNKNOWN
 MATERIAL.
   § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
