NY Pub Auth L § 1075 (2021)
2021 New York Laws PBA - Public Authorities Article 5 - Public Utility Authorities Title 4 - Suffolk County Water Authority 1075 - Statement of Purpose.

§  1075.  Statement of purpose. Prior to the enactment of section five   of article ten of the constitution (effective on January first, nineteen   hundred  thirty-nine)  public  benefit  corporations  could  be  created   pursuant  to  general  law  and chapter eight hundred forty-seven of the   laws  of  nineteen  hundred  thirty-four,  as  amended,  authorized  the   creation  of county water authorities. On the twenty-ninth day of March,   nineteen hundred thirty-seven,  the  board  of  supervisors  of  Suffolk   county  pursuant  to  such  chapter  created  the  Suffolk  county water   authority, which since such date has been in continuous existence  as  a   body  corporate  and politic, constituting a public benefit corporation.   Thereafter the provisions of such chapter were reenacted  and  continued   as article seven of the county law by chapter one hundred ninety-five of   the  laws  of nineteen hundred forty. The Suffolk county water authority   is the only county water authority  created  pursuant  to  such  chapter   eight  hundred  forty-seven of the laws of nineteen hundred thirty-four,   as amended, or pursuant to such article seven of the county  law.  Since   the  enactment of section five of article ten of the constitution public   benefit  corporations  may  be  created  only  by  special  act  of  the   legislature  and,  to the extent that the provisions of article seven of   the county law  purport  to  authorize  the  creation  of  county  water   authorities  pursuant  to  its  provisions  subsequent to January first,   nineteen hundred thirty-nine, such provisions  of  the  county  law  are   obsolete.  The purpose of this title is to continue the existence of the   Suffolk county water authority, to place the statutory provisions of law   applicable  thereto  in  the   public   authorities   law   where   they   appropriately  belong,  to  provide  for  the  powers  and duties of the   authority, and to repeal the provisions of present article seven of  the   county law.
