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

 AN ACT to amend the general municipal law, in relation to expanding the
 amount of time a notice of defect must be kept

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

 1 Section 1. Subdivision 2 of section 50-g of the general municipal law,

 3 follows:
 4 2. Where the statute, charter or local law requires that the written
 5 notice be given to a specified city officer or employee the record shall
 6 be made and kept by the person so specified. Where the statute, charter
 7 or local law requires that the written notice be given to any of several
 8 specified city officers or employees, or omits to specify the officer or
 9 employee to whom the written notice shall be given, the record shall be
 10 made and kept by an officer or employee designated for that purpose by
 11 the governing body of the city. In the absence of such designation the
 12 record shall be made and kept by the commissioner of public works of the
 13 city or, if there be no officer of that title, by an officer exercising
 14 corresponding duties. The record of notices of defects shall be a public
 15 record. The record of each notice shall be preserved for a period of
 16 [five] ten years after the date it is received.
 17 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
