 Introduced by Sen. CLEARE -- read twice and ordered printed, and when

 AN ACT to require that the siting, construction and establishment of
 methadone program facilities in cities having a population of one
 million or more be dispersed in the boroughs of such cities in propor-
 tion to the population of each such borough

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

 1 Section 1. Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, with-
 2 in cities having a population of one million or more, methadone program
 3 facilities registered with the office of addiction services and supports
 4 pursuant to section 19.16 of the mental hygiene law within each such
 5 city shall be sited, constructed and/or established throughout the
 6 boroughs of such city in proportion to each borough's population to the
 7 city's total population. Provided, however, that the provisions of this
 8 section shall not apply to the siting, construction or establishment of
 9 any methadone program facility for which the appropriate community board
 10 or, if there be no community board, the appropriate neighborhood board
 11 shall have granted an exemption from such provisions.
 12 § 2. Methadone program facilities sited, constructed and/or estab-
 13 lished within cities having a population of one million or more after
 14 the effective date of this act shall be first located in those boroughs
 15 of the city which have the lowest concentration of such facilities in
 16 proportion to the borough population to the city's population. Once each
 17 borough has achieved proper proportionality pursuant to this section,
 18 siting, construction, and/or establishment of such facilities shall
 19 continue within a city having a population of one million or more with
 20 such proportionality requirements in mind.
 21 § 3. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, no
 22 methadone program facility shall be sited, constructed or established
