 13 as in section four hundred ninety-five of the general business law.
 14 § 2. This act shall take effect on the same date and in the same
 15 manner as a chapter of the laws of 2024 amending the executive law

 17 dents involving lithium-ion batteries, as proposed in legislative bills
 18 numbers S. 8742 and A. 9337, takes effect.
