 Introduced by M. of A. RAJKUMAR -- read once and referred to the Commit-
 tee on Veterans' Affairs

 AN ACT to amend the general business law, in relation to requiring a one
 hundred twenty-day warning period for certain violations at certain
 veterans' organization facilities

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

 1 Section 1. The general business law is amended by adding a new section
 2 397-c to read as follows:
 3 § 397-c. Warning period for certain violations at certain veterans'
 4 organization facilities. 1. Before any monetary fines are issued or
 5 applied by any municipal or health agency to the owner or operator of
 6 any place, post, facility or hall owned or operated by a congressionally
 7 chartered veterans' group, a warning period of one hundred twenty days
 8 shall take place during which time such group shall be able to cure such
 9 violation. If, at the end of such one hundred twenty-day period, such
 10 violation continues, then a monetary fine may be issued or applied
 11 provided, that after such one hundred twenty-day period, such veterans'
 12 organization may request an extension of time to cure such violation.
 13 Such request shall be made in writing and shall include proof of an
 14 attempt to cure such violation within such period. The provisions of
 15 this section shall not: (a) apply to any imminent life threatening
 16 building code or health code violation which necessitates an emergency
 17 closure of a facility; or (b) be construed to apply to or effect any
 18 violation of the alcoholic beverage control law made by a facility.
 19 2. For the purposes of this section, the term "congressionally char-
 20 tered veterans' group" shall mean any veterans' group that has been
 21 chartered by the United States Congress under title 36 of the United
 22 States code.
 23 § 2. This act shall take effect on the sixtieth day after it shall
 24 have become a law.

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