 AN ACT to amend the navigation law, in  relation  to  the  placement  of
   navigational  aids  adjacent  to  real  property  designated as "Coney
   Island"

   THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. Section 35 of the navigation law, as amended by chapter 659
 of the laws of 1990, is amended to read as follows:
   § 35. Aids  to  navigation. 1. The commissioner may authorize, through
 the issuance of a revocable permit, the placing of aids to navigation in
 the navigable waters of the state, and any tidewaters  bordering  on  or
 lying  within  the  boundaries  of  Nassau and Suffolk counties, to mark
 obstructions to navigation, or for any other purpose, if, in  his  judg-
 ment, it will promote safety of navigation. Any person interested in the
 navigation  of  the  navigable  waters  of the state, and any tidewaters
 bordering on or lying within the boundaries of Nassau and Suffolk  coun-
 ties,  who  may desire to place such aids to navigation therein, without
 expense to the state, may  make  application  to  the  commissioner  and
 submit  a  map suitable for blue print reproduction showing the proposed
 location of such aids to navigation and their  color  and  meaning.  The
 commissioner  shall  make  rules  and regulations establishing the size,
 shape, color and significance of such aids to navigation. When  authori-
 zation  has  been  granted  the  said aids to navigation shall be deemed
 lawfully placed. If, in the judgment of the commissioner, aids to  navi-
 gation  authorized  by him are found to be improperly placed or that the
 reason for their placement no longer exists, he may  revoke  the  permit
 authorizing  their  placement  by written notice mailed to the person to
 whom the permit was issued directing their removal  within  a  specified
 time.  The person to whom such notice is directed shall thereupon remove

 the aids to navigation in accordance with such instructions. In case  of
 failure by the person so directed to remove the aids to navigation with-
 in  the  specified  time,  the commissioner may cause their removal. The
 cost  and  expense  of such removal shall be a charge against the person
 authorized to place the aids to navigation and it shall  be  recoverable
 through action in any court of competent jurisdiction. Each aid to navi-
 gation  lawfully placed shall bear in a conspicuous place and in legible
 condition the letters "NYS". Any person placing such designating letters
 on an aid to navigation not lawfully placed,  in  accordance  with  this
 section, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction by a court
 of  competent  jurisdiction  shall be subject to a fine of not more than
 twenty-five dollars for each and every offense.  Any  person  who  shall
 moor  or fasten a vessel to a lawfully placed aid to navigation or shall
 wilfully damage, alter the location of, or otherwise render  ineffective
 a lawfully placed aid to navigation shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and
 upon  conviction  before  a  court  of  competent  jurisdiction shall be
 subject to a fine of not more than fifty  dollars  for  each  and  every
 offense.
   2. THE COMMISSIONER SHALL REQUIRE THE PLACING OF AIDS TO NAVIGATION IN
 THE  NAVIGABLE WATERS ADJACENT TO ALL REAL PROPERTY DESIGNATED AS "CONEY
 ISLAND". SUCH AIDS SHALL BE PLACED FIVE HUNDRED FEET FROM THE  SHORELINE
 OF  SUCH  REAL  PROPERTY, IN WHICH NO PUBLIC OR PLEASURE VESSEL SHALL BE
 PERMITTED TO TRAVEL. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY INCONSISTENT PROVISION OF  LAW,
 RULE, OR REGULATION, ANY INDIVIDUAL FOUND TO BE OPERATING A VESSEL WITH-
 IN  SUCH  DESIGNATED  SAFETY  ZONE  SHALL  BE  FINED  FIFTY  DOLLARS PER
 VIOLATION. THE COMMISSIONER SHALL MAKE RULES AND REGULATIONS  ESTABLISH-
 ING  THE  SIZE, SHAPE, AND COLOR OF SUCH AIDS TO NAVIGATION. EACH AID TO
 NAVIGATION PLACED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS SUBDIVISION SHALL  BEAR  IN  A
 CONSPICUOUS PLACE AND IN LEGIBLE CONDITION THE LETTERS "NYS".
   § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
