 section  1.03  of  the  mental hygiene law, provided, however, that such
 residence shall be operated  by  a  not-for-profit  corporation  and  if

 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'

 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.
   § 2. This act shall take effect on the thirtieth day  after  it  shall
