article, are required by local laws, ordinances or resolutions to be set aside for mass transportation purposes, the rate may not be in excess of three and one-quarter percent. If a transaction is taxed by both a county and a city, the rate of tax on such transaction imposed by the county or city, not having prior right thereto pursuant to section twelve hundred twenty-four, shall be deemed to be reduced (or the entire tax eliminated, if necessary) to the extent necessary to comply with the foregoing requirement. A tax imposed by a county upon any transaction, to the extent that it would require a reduction in any tax rate imposed thereon by a city, shall not become effective in respect to any transaction taxed by such city (or in respect of other similar transactions outside of the city which, if occurring in such city, would be subject to such city tax) before the commencement of the city's next succeeding fiscal year and then only if the county shall have given notice to such city of its imposition of a tax on such transaction at least six months prior to the commencement of such fiscal year, provided however that the local legislative body of such city may waive the requirement of such notice and the postponement of the effective date of such tax. A city tax upon any transaction, to the extent that it would require a reduction in any tax rate imposed by a county thereon, shall not become effective in respect of any transaction taxed by such county before the commencement of the county's next succeeding fiscal year and then only if the city shall have given notice to such county of its imposition of a tax on such transaction at least six months prior to the commencement of such fiscal year, provided, however, that the local legislative body of such county may waive the requirement of such notice and postponement of the effective date of such tax. However, whether or not the six months' notice requirement provided in this section has been waived, a tax imposed pursuant to the authority of section twelve hundred ten or twelve hundred eleven shall still be subject to the requirements provided for in the first three sentences of subdivision (d) of such sections and in subdivision (e) of such sections.

§ 3. Subdivision (j) of section 1224 of the tax law, as relettered by chapter 769 of the laws of 1990, is relettered subdivision (k) and a new subdivision (j) is added to read as follows:

(j) The county of Albany shall have the sole right to impose the additional one percent rate of tax which such county is authorized to impose pursuant to the authority of section twelve hundred ten, such additional rate of tax shall be in addition to any other tax which such county may impose or may be imposing pursuant to this article or any other law and such additional rate of tax shall not be subject to preemption. The maximum three percent rate referred to in this section shall be calculated without reference to the additional one percent rate of tax which the county of Albany is authorized and empowered to adopt pursuant to section twelve hundred ten.

§ 4. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, any local law, ordinance or resolution enacted or amended by the county of Albany to increase the rate of tax as authorized by this act shall take effect in accordance with the provisions of subdivision (d) of section 1210 of the tax law, except that the minimum notice requirements to the commissioner of taxation and finance shall be deemed to have been complied with upon the mailing of a certified copy of such local law, ordinance or resolution, by registered mail to the commissioner of taxation and finance at his office in Albany on or before August 1, 1992.

§ 5. Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of law, if the county of Albany imposes the additional one percent rate of sales and compensating 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 county'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 city in the county of Albany exercises its prior right to impose tax pursuant to section 1224 of the tax law, then the county of Albany shall not be required to allocate and distribute net collections in accordance with the previous sentence for any period of time during which any such city tax is in effect.

6. This act shall take effect immediately.
