  Section  1. Subdivisions 5 and 6 of section 360-m of the general busi-

read as follows:

imitation products [received by an organization]  through  this  section
must have the products' IDENTIFYING LAWFUL MARK tags removed or have the
products  marked,  altered,  imprinted  or  indelibly  stamped  so as to
prevent their resale or any confusion with the actual  products  of  the
lawful  mark  owner.    SUCH  PRODUCTS  MUST  ALSO  BE  INSPECTED BY THE

that  may be donated pursuant to this section shall be clothing, INCLUD-
ING SHOES, and all other  counterfeit  or  imitation  products  must  be
destroyed  in  accordance  with  this  section or any other provision of
applicable law.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
