Article 2 - Grants of Powers to Local Governments
12 - Effective Date Provisions of Bills Requiring Re-Enactment and Approval.

§ 12. Effective date provisions of bills requiring re-enactment and
approval. 1. Where a bill introduced in the legislature would have the
effect of repealing, diminishing, impairing or suspending a power
granted by this statute of local governments and thus would be
ineffective unless re-enacted and approved in the following calendar
year as provided by paragraph one of subdivision (b) of section two of
article nine of the constitution, the effective date provision thereof
shall read substantially as follows: "This act shall take effect
(specify effective date in event of re-enactment by legislature and
approval by governor in next calendar year), provided that it is
approved by the governor in accordance with paragraph one of subdivision
(b) of section two of article nine of the constitution and provided that
it is re-enacted by the legislature and approved by the governor in the
next calendar year in accordance with such paragraph."

2. Where a statute enacted in one year is introduced in the
legislature in the next calendar year for re-enactment by the
legislature and approval thereafter by the governor in accordance with
paragraph one of subdivision (b) of section two of article nine of the
constitution, the effective date provision thereof shall refer to the
enactment in the previous year and shall, in addition, provide
substantially as follows: "This act shall take effect (set forth the
effective date), provided that it is approved by the governor in
accordance with paragraph one of subdivision (b) of section two of
article nine of the constitution."
