   THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. Paragraph (a) of subdivision 2 of section 862 of the gener-
 al  municipal  law, as added by section 1 of part J of chapter 59 of the
 laws of 2013, is amended to read as follows:
   (a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this subdivision, no finan-
 cial assistance of the agency  shall  be  provided  in  respect  of  any
 project  where  facilities or property that are primarily used in making
 retail sales to customers who personally visit such  facilities  consti-
 tute  more than one-third of the total project cost. For the purposes of
 this article, "retail sales" shall  mean:  (i)  sales  by  a  registered
 vendor  under  article  twenty-eight of the tax law primarily engaged in
 the retail sale of tangible personal property, as  defined  in  subpara-
 graph (i) of paragraph four of subdivision (b) of section eleven hundred
 one  of  the  tax  law;  or  (ii)  sales of a service to such customers.
 Except, however, that tourism destination projects shall not be  prohib-
 ited  by  this  subdivision. For the purpose of this paragraph, "tourism
 destination" shall mean a  location  or  facility  which  is  likely  to
 attract  a  significant  number  of  visitors  from outside the economic
 development region as established by section two hundred thirty  of  the
 economic  development  law,  in  which the project is located.  PROVIDED
 FURTHER, HOWEVER, THAT CHILD DAY CARE PROVIDERS, AS SUCH TERM IS DEFINED
 PURSUANT TO PARAGRAPH (B) OF SUBDIVISION ONE OF  SECTION  THREE  HUNDRED
 NINETY  OF  THE  SOCIAL  SERVICES  LAW,  SHALL NOT BE PROHIBITED BY THIS
 SUBDIVISION.
   § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
