AN ACT to amend the  real  property  law,  in  relation  to  cooperative
  purchase applications

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

  Section 1. Legislative findings.  The  legislature  hereby  finds  and
declares  that  residential  cooperative purchasers are subject to proc-
esses and conditions that do not  also  apply  to  purchasers  of  other
single  family  residences.  The legislature also finds that these proc-
esses and conditions, at a minimum, give the  appearance  and  have  the
potential to be misused to illegally discriminate against a purchaser of
cooperative  housing.  Because  this  state strongly opposes all illegal
discrimination and promotes fair housing laws  and  regulations,  it  is
essential that the process for purchasing a cooperative dwelling include
additional  safeguards  to  protect against illegal discrimination. This
act is not intended and does not diminish the duty of cooperative boards
to uphold their established fiduciary duties. This act will significant-
ly improve the transparency of the cooperative purchase process  to  the
benefit of all parties involved in the transaction.
  S  2.  The  real property law is amended by adding a new article 11 to
read as follows:
                               ARTICLE 11
                          COOPERATIVE PURCHASE
                              APPLICATIONS

SECTION 360. SHORT TITLE.
        361. DEFINITIONS.
        362. PURCHASE APPLICATIONS.
        363. ACTION UPON APPLICATIONS.
        364. PUBLIC POLICY.
  S 360. SHORT TITLE. THIS ARTICLE SHALL BE KNOWN AND MAY  BE  CITED  AS
THE "FAIRNESS IN COOPERATIVE HOME OWNERSHIP ACT".
