 AN ACT to amend the real property tax law, in relation to requiring the

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

 1 Section 1. Section 532 of the real property tax law is amended by
 2 adding a new subdivision (m) to read as follows:
 3 (m) All lands owned by the state which were previously used as the
 4 Moriah shock incarceration correctional facility, including the improve-
 5 ments erected thereon by the state, beginning once correctional oper-
 6 ations have ceased at such facility, regardless of any state or
 7 contracted personnel assigned to maintenance of relative facility
 8 grounds or facility infrastructure including, but not limited to, build-
 9 ings, heating systems, or communications technology, until the state
 10 begins operations upon the land through a state agency or the land is
 11 sold to a non-governmental entity; provided, however, that where such
 12 lands are conveyed to a not-for-profit non-governmental entity, such
 13 entity shall enter into a payment in lieu of taxes with Essex county and
 14 the town of Moriah.
 15 § 2. This act shall take effect on the first of April next succeeding
 16 the date on which it shall have become a law.
