AN ACT to amend the general municipal law, in  relation  to  authorizing

  THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section  1.    Subdivision 2 of section 104-c of the general municipal
law, as added by chapter 618 of the laws of 1998, is amended to read  as
follows:
  2.  [Notwithstanding  any  other  provision of law, the] THE governing

authorizing  the  disposal  of computers, computer software and computer
equipment no longer needed for the purposes of the political subdivision
through donation to public schools, public libraries, and  other  public
and  private  institutions  for secular educational use, and to not-for-
profit institutions for use by  individuals  with  disabilities,  SENIOR
CITIZENS, OR LOW INCOME INDIVIDUALS, upon proof of need by such institu-
tion  and  subordinate  to  the  requirements  of the public schools and
libraries of the state. Such donation shall be based on a public notifi-
cation process and competitive proposals from  schools,  libraries,  and
other public and private educational programs for secular education use,
and  not-for-profit  institutions  serving  persons  with  disabilities,
SENIOR CITIZENS, OR LOW INCOME INDIVIDUALS, which shall demonstrate need
and specific plans for the use of such equipment.
  S 2.  This act shall take effect immediately; provided,  however  that
the  amendments to subdivision 2 of section 104-c of the general munici-
pal law made by section one of this act shall not affect the  repeal  of
such subdivision and shall be deemed repealed therewith.
