AN ACT to amend the public service law, in  relation  to  utility  rates
  charged to not-for-profit organized sports programs for youth

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

  Section 1. Section 76 of the public service law, as amended by chapter

  S 76. Rates charged veteran  organizations,  religious  bodies  [and],
community  residences  AND  NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZED SPORTS PROGRAMS FOR
YOUTH.  No gas corporation, electric corporation or municipality  shall,
directly or indirectly, charge, demand, collect or receive from any post
or hall owned or leased by a not-for-profit corporation that is a veter-
ans' organization, or corporation or association organized and conducted
in  good  faith  for religious purposes, including the operation by such
corporation or association of a  school,  notwithstanding  that  secular
subjects  are  taught  at  such school, or from a community residence as
defined in subdivision twenty-eight, twenty-eight-a or twenty-eight-b of
section 1.03 of the mental hygiene law,  provided,  however,  that  such
residence  shall  be  operated  by  a  not-for-profit corporation and if
supervisory staff is on site on a twenty-four hour per day  basis,  that
the residence provides living accommodations for fourteen or fewer resi-
dents,  OR  FROM  A NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZED SPORTS PROGRAM FOR YOUTH, a
rate, regardless of the type of service offered, for any gas or electric
service utilized exclusively in connection with such [veteran] VETERANS'
organization or for such religious purposes or utilized  exclusively  at
such  community  residence  OR USED BY A NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZED SPORTS
PROGRAM FOR YOUTH greater than the rates or charges  charged,  demanded,
collected  or  received by such gas corporation, electric corporation or
municipality from  domestic  consumers  receiving  single-phase  service
within the same village, town or municipality.
  S  2.  This  act shall take effect on the thirtieth day after it shall
have become a law.
