   Section  1.  Clause 10 of subparagraph (i) of the opening paragraph of
 section 1210 of the tax law, as amended by chapter 271 of  the  laws  of
 2023, is amended to read as follows:
   (10)  the  county of Albany is hereby further authorized and empowered
 to adopt and amend local laws, ordinances or resolutions  imposing  such
 taxes  at  a  rate  which is one percent additional to the three percent
 rate authorized above in this paragraph for such county for  the  period

 ber thirtieth, two thousand [twenty-five] TWENTY-SEVEN;
   §  2. Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of law, if the county

 sating  use  taxes authorized by section one of this act for any portion
 of the period during which the county is so authorized  to  impose  such
 additional  one  percent  rate of such taxes, then such county of Albany
 shall allocate and distribute quarterly to the cities and  the  area  in
 the  county  outside  the  cities the same proportion of net collections
 attributable to such additional one percent rate of such taxes  as  such
 county is allocating and distributing the net collections from the coun-
 ty's three percent rate of such taxes as of the date this act shall have
 become  a  law, and such portion of net collections attributable to such
 additional one percent  rate  of  such  taxes  shall  be  allocated  and
 distributed  to the towns and villages in such county in the same manner
 as the net collections attributable to such county's three percent  rate
 of  such  taxes are allocated and distributed to such towns and villages
 as of the date this act shall have become a law. In the event  that  any
