 ___________

 Introduced by Sen. CHAN -- read twice and ordered printed, and when
 printed to be committed to the Committee on Transportation

 AN ACT to amend the public authorities law, in relation to discounted
 tolls on the Verrazano-Narrows bridge for residents of Kings county
 using a personal vehicle

 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. Verrazano-Narrows reduced toll; Kings county. Notwithstand-
 4 ing any inconsistent provision of law, but subject to agreements with
 5 noteholders and bondholders, the authority shall establish a reduced
 6 toll for residents of the county of Kings as set forth in this section,
 7 which shall entitle such residents using a personal vehicle to crossings
 8 over the Verrazano-Narrows bridge at a reduced cost of seventy per
 9 centum of the regular crossing fare imposed on nonresidents of the coun-
 10 ty of Kings. In the event the authority shall impose a surcharge in
 11 addition to the regular toll for crossings over the Verrazano-Narrows
 12 bridge, such surcharge shall not be deemed a part of the regular cross-
 13 ing fare for purposes of this section, and such residents of the county
 14 of Kings shall be entitled to a permanent exemption from the payment of
 15 any such surcharge. The provisions of this section shall apply to resi-
 16 dents of Kings county who utilize a personal vehicle with an electronic
 17 method of toll payment and who cross the Verrazano-Narrows bridge six or
 18 more times per month. Application for such discount shall be made in
 19 such manner as prescribed by the authority and shall contain such infor-
 20 mation as the authority may reasonably require.
 21 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.

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