 in  the  principal  amount  of  $1,100,000  to  finance  the   cost   of

 object or purposes for which said bonds were issued are hereby deemed to

 city  of  Buffalo as if the council had not already created a city debt.
 In the event a successful petition is filed with  the  city  clerk,  the
 authorization  provided in section two of this act shall not take effect
 unless such resolution is approved by the affirmative vote of a majority
 of the qualified electors.
   § 4. Separability. If any clause, sentence, paragraph, section or part
 of this act shall be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction  to
 be  invalid,  such  judgment shall not affect, impair, or invalidate the
 remainder thereof, but shall be confined in its operation to the clause,
 sentence, paragraph, section or part thereof directly  involved  in  the
 controversy in which such judgment shall have been rendered.

                                  PART D
 
   Section  1.  Legislative  findings.  The  legislature hereby finds and
 determines that pursuant to a bond resolution  dated  February  7,  2023
 S. 8805--A                          4

 adopted  by  the  common council of the city of Buffalo, county of Erie,
 (the "common council" and the "city" respectively) the city issued bonds
 in  the  principal  amount  of  $1,514,700  to  finance  the   cost   of
 construction  of  a new police training facility, including planning and
 design work, related site improvements, and furnishings. The legislature
 further finds and determines that  said  resolution  failed  to  include
 language  to identify the accurate address within the city in which such
 construction of a new police training facility is intended to be made.
   § 2. Notwithstanding the defects described in section one of this act,
 the object or purposes for which  said  bonds  were  issued  are  hereby
 deemed  to  be  for  the construction of a new police training facility,
 including planning and  design  work,  related  site  improvements,  and
 furnishings to be located at 379 Paderewski Drive in the city of Buffalo
 as  mentioned  in  the  aforesaid  resolution and the expenditure of the
 $1,514,700 proceeds of such bonds for such objects or purposes is hereby
 authorized, validated, confirmed and ratified.
   § 3. The authorization provided in section two of this act  shall  not
 take  effect  until  the  common council of the city of Buffalo adopts a
 resolution after the effective date of this act that shall be subject to
 permissive referendum pursuant to section 23-11 of the  charter  of  the
 city  of  Buffalo as if the council had not already created a city debt.
 In the event a successful petition is filed with  the  city  clerk,  the
 authorization  provided in section two of this act shall not take effect
 unless such resolution is approved by the affirmative vote of a majority
 of the qualified electors.
   § 4. Separability. If any clause, sentence, paragraph, section or part
 of this act shall be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction  to
 be  invalid,  such  judgment shall not affect, impair, or invalidate the
 remainder thereof, but shall be confined in its operation to the clause,
 sentence, paragraph, section or part thereof directly  involved  in  the
 controversy in which such judgment shall have been rendered.
   § 5. This act shall take effect immediately.
   § 2. Severability. If any clause, sentence, paragraph, section or part
 of  this act shall be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to
 be invalid and after exhaustion of  all  further  judicial  review,  the
 judgment  shall not affect, impair, or invalidate the remainder thereof,
 but shall be confined in its operation to the  clause,  sentence,  para-
 graph,  section or part of this act directly involved in the controversy
 in which the judgment shall have been rendered.
   § 3. This act shall take effect immediately  provided,  however,  that
 the  applicable effective date of Parts A through D of this act shall be
 as specifically set forth in the last section of such Parts.
