        AN  ACT  to  amend  the general municipal law, in relation to preventing
          certain elected officials from being a member of  an  agency;  and  to
          repeal subdivision 4 of section 856 of such law relating thereto

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

     1    Section 1. Subdivision 4 of section 856 of the general  municipal  law
     2  is REPEALED and a new subdivision 4 is added to read as follows:
     3    4.  No member of an agency shall be an elected official of the munici-
     4  pality nor shall any member of an agency be an elected official  of  any
     5  county,  city, town, or village within the county in which the agency is
     6  located. Where an individual who currently serves  as  a  member  of  an
     7  agency would be ineligible to serve until his or her term as a member of
     8  an  agency  has  expired,  the  governing  body  of  the municipality or
     9  appointing authority of the agency shall  appoint  new  members  of  the
    10  agency  as provided in subdivision two of this section where an individ-
    11  ual was no longer able to serve in such a capacity.    This  subdivision
    12  shall  not apply to any elected officials required to serve on an indus-
    13  trial development agency under title two of this article. This  subdivi-
    14  sion  shall  not  apply  to any industrial development agency that has a
    15  board entirely composed of elected officials from the municipality  that
    16  chartered such industrial development agency.
    17    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
