 AN ACT to amend the public housing law, in relation to succession rights
 for rent stabilized housing

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

 1 Section 1. Paragraph (a) of subdivision 4 of section 14 of the public
 2 housing law, as added by chapter 116 of the laws of 1997, the opening
 3 paragraph as amended by section 3 of part A of chapter 760 of the laws
 4 of 2023, is amended to read as follows:
 5 (a) that unless otherwise prohibited by occupancy restrictions based
 6 upon income limitations pursuant to federal, state or local law, regu-
 7 lations or other requirements of governmental agencies, any member of
 8 the tenant's family, as defined in paragraph (c) of this subdivision,
 9 shall succeed to the rights of a tenant under such acts and laws where
 10 the tenant has permanently vacated the housing accommodation and such
 11 family member has resided with the tenant in the housing accommodation
 12 as a primary residence for a period of no less than [two years] one
 13 year, or where such person is a "senior citizen" or a "disabled person,"
 14 as defined in paragraph (c) of this subdivision, for a period of no less
 15 than one year, immediately prior to the permanent vacating of the hous-
 16 ing accommodation by the tenant, or from the inception of the tenancy or
 17 commencement of the relationship, if for less than such periods. For the
 18 purposes of this paragraph, "permanently vacated" shall mean the date
 19 when the tenant of record permanently stops residing in the housing
 20 accommodation regardless of subsequent contacts with the unit or the
 21 signing of lease renewals or continuation of rent payments. The minimum
 22 periods of required residency set forth in this subdivision shall not be
 23 deemed to be interrupted by any period during which the "family member"
 24 temporarily relocates because [he or she] such family member:
 25 (i) is engaged in active military duty;
 26 (ii) is enrolled as a full time student;

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