        AN  ACT to amend the highway law, in relation to authorizing the town of

     1    Section 1. Subdivision 31 of section 341 of the highway law is amended

     3    6. Effective April first, two  thousand  twenty-two,  the  legislative
     4  body of the town of Deerfield in the county of Oneida, having previously
     5  approved  the  abandonment  of  certain town roads, as set forth in this
     6  subdivision, the commissioner  is  authorized  and  directed  to  assume
     7  jurisdiction  for state highway purposes over the road identified as the
     8  south-bound service road and associated ramp sections  built  under  New
     9  York  state  department  of  transportation contract D250071 in nineteen
    10  hundred eighty-two parallel to state route eight  and  twelve  from  the
    11  city  of Utica line north to the Mulaney Road interchange, including any
    12  pavement,  shoulder  area,  drainage  system,  landscaping,  curbs,  and
    13  guiderail located thereon or immediately adjacent thereto.
    14    §  2. The commissioner of transportation and the town of Deerfield are
    15  authorized to permanently close such portions of the highway transferred
    16  to the state as necessary to eliminate travel over sections of the high-
    17  way that are unfit or unnecessary for travel due to flooding or erosion,
    18  provided, however, that provision is made for the access to or  acquisi-
    19  tion  of  any  properties that would be denied access to public highways
    20  due to such closure.
    21    § 3. This transfer of jurisdiction shall be  deemed  to  transfer  all
    22  right,  title  and  interest of the town of Deerfield in the transferred
    23  highways to the state. Furthermore, the state acquisition of such  prop-
    24  erty  pursuant to this act shall be deemed to be an acquisition pursuant
    25  to section 30 of the highway law for all subsequent purposes and uses.
    26    § 4. This act shall take effect immediately.
