 AN ACT to amend the tax law, in relation to exempting first-time home-

 5 mortgagee is a first-time homebuyer. As used in this subdivision "first-
 6 time homebuyer" means a natural person who has not owned a primary resi-
 7 dential property and is not married to a person who has owned a residen-
 8 tial property during the three-year period prior to their purchase of
 9 the primary residential property, and who does not own a vacation or
 10 investment home.
 11 § 2. This act shall take effect on the first of January next succeed-
 12 ing the date on which it shall have become a law and shall apply to
 13 mortgages executed on and after such effective date.

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