 AN ACT to amend the public authorities law, in relation to exempting
 Staten Island residents from Verrazzano-Narrows bridge tolls

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. The public authorities law is amended by adding a new
 2 section 553-l to read as follows:
 3 § 553-l. Verrazzano-Narrows bridge; Staten Island resident exemption.
 4 Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of law, but subject to agree-
 5 ments with noteholders and bondholders, the authority shall exempt resi-
 6 dents of the borough of Staten Island using a New York customer service
 7 E-ZPass account on the Verrazzano-Narrows bridge from the payment of any
 8 tolls therefor, provided, however, that such exemption shall not apply
 9 to trips made by vehicles that are used for commercial purposes. Appli-
 10 cation for such toll exemption shall be made in such manner as shall be
 11 prescribed by the authority and shall contain such information as the
 12 authority may reasonably require.
 13 § 2. This act shall take effect on the thirtieth day after it shall
 14 have become a law. Effective immediately, the addition, amendment and/or
 15 repeal of any rule or regulation necessary for the implementation of
 16 this act on its effective date are authorized to be made and completed
 17 on or before such effective date.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
