AN ACT to amend the canal law, in relation to the method of  abandonment
  for the purposes of the canal system

  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. Section 51 of the canal law, as amended by chapter  335  of
the laws of 2001, is amended to read as follows:
  S 51. Method of abandonment. Prior to the exercising of such authority
of  abandonment,  however,  the  corporation shall cause a notice of any
proposed abandonment to be transmitted  to  the  commission  and  to  be
published  once  each  week  for  three  successive weeks in a newspaper
published in the county wherein such lands are located, EXCEPT THAT SUCH
PUBLICATION SHALL APPEAR IN A NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED IN THE MUNICIPALITY OR
LOCALITY WHEREIN SUCH LANDS  ARE  LOCATED  WHEN  THERE  IS  A  NEWSPAPER
PUBLISHED  IN SUCH MUNICIPALITY OR LOCALITY.  Such notice shall describe
the lands proposed to be abandoned with sufficient certainty to identify
them and invite interested parties to  file  written  statements  either
supporting  or opposing the proposed abandonment. Upon the expiration of
the period of publishing said notice, WHEN  IT  IS  THE  CASE  THAT  THE
ASSESSMENT FOR SUCH LANDS PROPOSED FOR ABANDONMENT IS EQUAL TO OR GREAT-
ER THAN FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS, the corporation [may] SHALL hold a hear-
ing  at  which  evidence or further information may be submitted[, if in
its opinion the written  statements  previously  received  warrant  such
action].  A record shall be made of all evidence submitted at such hear-
ing. If no hearing shall appear to the corporation to  be  warranted  or
subsequent  to  such hearing, should one be held, the corporation may in
its discretion declare such lands abandoned  for  the  purposes  of  the
canal  system.  The  corporation shall thereupon issue an official order
abandoning the  lands  for  canal  purposes  together  with  a  map  and
description  of  the lands abandoned and dispose of any portion of canal

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