 AN  ACT in relation to permitting Essex county to enter into a municipal
   cooperative agreement for emergency medical services and general ambu-
   lance services
 
   THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1.  Essex county may enter into a municipal cooperative agree-
 ment,  subject to the provisions of article 5-G of the general municipal
 law, with any municipal  corporation,  fire  district,  fire  protection
 district,  or  ambulance district within the county, in order to finance
 and provide an emergency medical service, a general ambulance service or
 a combination of such services, as a joint service, pursuant to  section
 122-b  of  the general municipal law, and subject to the restrictions of
 subdivision 4 of section 209-b of the general municipal law. Pursuant to
 the municipal cooperative  agreement  and  in  the  manner  provided  in
 section  122-b  of  the general municipal law, Essex county may contract
 with one or more individuals, associations, or  other  organizations  to
 implement  the  municipal  cooperative agreement authorized by this act.
 The expenses of providing such joint service shall be  assessed,  levied
 and  collected from all lots and parcels of land within the county which
 receive such joint service provided, however, that  such  charges  shall
 not  be  assessed  on  any lot or parcel that receives emergency medical
 service, general ambulance service or a  combination  of  such  services
 from a municipal corporation, fire district, fire protection district or
 ambulance  district  that  is  not  a party to the municipal cooperative
 agreement. Nothing herein shall be construed as  mandating  the  partic-
 ipation  of  any  existing  municipal  corporation,  fire district, fire
 protection district or ambulance district which currently provides  such
 services.
   § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
