MEMORANDUM

~N ACT to amend the highway law,
~in relation to the limitation of
;expenditures on highway machinery
in certain towns.
PURPOSE OF BILL:
For Suffolk County only, to double the present statutory limit
upon the amount a town may raise by taxes in any given year for buying
or repairing certain heavy highway equipment.
SUt~4ARY OF PROVISIONS:
So provides.
Law ~ 271.]
[Doubles the figures as set forth in Highway
STATEMENT IN SUPPORT:
The dollar limits set forth in this statute, placing a ceiling
on amounts a town may raise in any given year for purchase or repair
of certain heavy highway equipment (other than by specially submitting
the matter to the voters), have been periodically increased, on a
county-by-county basis, to reflect changing needs and circumstances.
There is substantial sentiment in ~f~lk County, among the
highway superintendents of its several towns and others~ that a doublin?
of the present limitations applicable to towns in that county is necessn~y
to bring the statute into accord with present needs.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
None [merely affords greater flexibility to towns in Suffolk
County].

Under the rules of the State Legislature certain bills require
the filing of a "Home Rule Request" before their consideration by
the Senate or Assembly. I have introduced one such bill and, for
your convenience, have enclosed herewith a copy of this legislation,
its official memorandum and an appropriate number of "Home Rule
Request" forms for your use. I would appreciate your bringing this
matter to the attention of your chief executive officer and your
local legislative body in order that we may begin to move this bill
toward enactment. Your prompt filing of the "Home Rule Request"
forms, in accordance with the instructions contained therein, also
would be greatly appreciated.
Thanking you for your consideration and assistance, I am

By: I. William Bianchi, Jr.
By: Bernard C. Smith
AN ACT to amend the highway law,
in relation to the limitation of
expenditures on highway machinery
in certain towns.
Purpose of Bill:
For seven of the ten towns in Suffolk County to double the
present statutory limit upon the amount a town may raise by taxes
in any given year for buying or repairing certain heavy highway
equipment. (The three towns not affected are: Riverhead, East
Hampton, and Shelter Island.)
Summary of Provisions:
So provides. (Doubles
Law ~271.)
the figures as
set forth in Highway
Statement in Support:
The dollar limits set forth in this statute, placing a ceiling
on amounts a town may raise in any given year for purchase or repair
of certain heavy highway equipment (other than by specially submit-
ting the matter to the voters), have been periodically increased, on
a county-by-county basis, to reflect changing needs and circumstances.
There is substantial sentiment in these seven towns in suffolk
county, among the highway superintendents of the several towns and
others, that a doubling of the present limitations applicable to the
towns is necessary to bring the statute into accord with present needs.
Fiscal Implications:
None. (Merely affords greater flexibility to the seven Suffolk
County towns affected.)
Effective Date:
Immediate.

MEMORANDUM
2/8/78
Assembly Bill No. A.1827-B
Senate Bill No. S.1461-B
By: I. William Bianchi, Jr.
By: Bernard C. Smith
AN ACT to amend the highway law,
in relation to the limitation of
expenditures on highway machinery
in certain towns.
Purpose of Bill:
For seven of the ten towns in Suffolk County to double the
present statutory limit upon the amount a town may raise by taxes
in any given year for buying or repairing certain heavy highway
equipmentl (The three towns not affected are: Riverhead, East
Hampton, and Shelter Island.)
Summary of Provisions:
So provides. (Doubles the figures as set forth in Highway
Law S271.)
Statement in Support:
The dollar limits set forth in this statute, placing a ceiling
on amounts a iowa may raise in any given year for purchase or repair
of certain heavy highway equipment (other than by specially submit-
ting the matter to the voters), have been periodically increased, on
a county-by-county basis, to reflect changing needs and circumstances.
There is substantial sentiment in these seven towns in Suffolk
County, among the highway superintendents of the several towns and
others, that a doubling of the present limitations applicable to the
towns is necessary to bring the statute into accord with present needs.
Fiscal Implications:
None. (Merely affords greater flexibility to the seven Suffolk
County towns affected.)
Effective Date:
Immediate.
