 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-

 5 telephonic or telegraphic communication by a person other than a sender
 6 or receiver thereof, without the consent of [either] both the sender
 7 [or] and receiver, by means of any instrument, device or equipment. The
 8 normal operation of a telephone or telegraph corporation and the normal
 9 use of the services and facilities furnished by such corporation pursu-
 10 ant to its tariffs or necessary to protect the rights or property of
 11 said corporation shall not be deemed "wiretapping."
 12 § 2. This act shall take effect on the thirtieth day after it shall
 13 have become a law.

 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
