 Introduced  by Sens. SANDERS, ADDABBO -- read twice and ordered printed,
   and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Transportation
 
 AN ACT to amend the public authorities law,  in  relation  to  the  Long
   Island Rail Road weekend reduced fare program
 
   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. Short title. This act shall be known as  the  "Long  Island
 Rail Road Fare Act".
   §  2.  Legislative  findings. The New York state legislature has found
 that on the weekends the Long Island Rail  Road,  a  subsidiary  of  the
 Metropolitan Transportation Authority, provides reduced fare between the
 hours  of  12:01  AM  Saturday  until 11:59 AM Sunday at certain station
 locations. Passengers traveling to and from locations  within  New  York
 city  should  not  forfeit  their enjoyment of such reduced fare because
 their train happens to pass through Nassau county.
   § 3.  Section 1266 of the public authorities law is amended by  adding
 a new subdivision 14-a to read as follows:
   14-A.  NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISIONS OF LAW OR THE TERMS OF ANY
 CONTRACT, THE LONG ISLAND RAIL ROAD SHALL INCLUDE FAR  ROCKAWAY  STATION
 IN  ITS  NEW  YORK CITY WEEKEND REDUCED FARE PROGRAM. SUCH STATION SHALL
 ENJOY THE SAME BENEFITS AS ALL OTHER STATIONS INCLUDED IN SUCH PROGRAM.
   § 4. This act shall take effect April 1, 2020.
 
 
 
 
  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.
