 Multi-Sponsored by -- M. of A. BARCLAY, HAWLEY, MANKTELOW, McDONOUGH
 -- read once and referred to the Committee on Judiciary

 AN ACT to amend the eminent domain procedure law, the not-for-profit
 corporation law, the general municipal law and the public authorities
 law, in relation to eminent domain reform; creating the "home and
 property protection act" providing for the creation of a temporary
 state commission to examine eminent domain laws and make recommenda-
 tions for further reforms; making an appropriation therefor; and
 providing for the repeal of certain provisions upon expiration thereof

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

 1 Section 1. Short title. This act shall be known and may be cited as
 2 the "home and property protection act".
 3 § 2. Section 103 of the eminent domain procedure law is amended by
 4 adding three new subdivisions (H), (I) and (J) to read as follows:
 5 (H) "Economic development project" means any project for which acqui-
 6 sition of real property may be required for a public use, benefit, or
 7 purpose where such public use, benefit, or purpose is primarily for
 8 economic development and where the condemnee's real property is a home
 9 or dwelling.
 10 (I) For the purposes of article two of this chapter:
 11 (1) "Home" means owner-occupied residential premises consisting of not
 12 more than six dwelling units.
 13 (2) "Dwelling" means residential premises consisting of not more than
 14 thirty dwelling units, none of which is occupied by an owner of such
 15 premises.
 16 (3) In the case of cooperative apartment corporations, title to that
 17 portion of real property owned by a cooperative apartment corporation in
 18 which a tenant-stockholder of such corporation resides, and which is
 19 represented by such tenant-stockholder's share or shares of stock in

 A. 5965 2

 1 such corporation as determined by its or their proportional relationship
 2 to the total outstanding stock of the corporation, including that owned
 3 by the corporation, shall be deemed to be vested in such tenant-stock-
 4 holder notwithstanding the number of dwelling units in such residential
 5 premises, thus qualifying a cooperative apartment as a home.
 6 (J) "Blighted area" means an area in which one or both of the follow-
 7 ing conditions exist: (i) a predominance of buildings and structures
 8 which are deteriorated or unfit or unsafe for use or occupancy; or (ii)
 9 a predominance of economically unproductive lands, buildings or struc-
 10 tures, the redevelopment of which is needed to prevent further deteri-
 11 oration which would jeopardize the economic well-being of the people.
 12 § 3. Subdivision (B) of section 204 of the eminent domain procedure
 13 law is amended to read as follows:
 14 (B) The condemnor, in its determination and findings, shall specify,
 15 but shall not be limited to the following:
 16 (1) the public use, benefit or purpose to be served by the proposed
 17 public project;
 18 (2) the approximate location for the proposed public project and the
 19 reasons for the selection of that location;
 20 (3) the general effect of the pro
