  facility developed or designed to be developed for use or  occupancy  by
  such  institution,  at any time prior to the date on which all bonds and
  notes of the trust issued to finance construction of such  portion  have
  been fully paid, which interest would entitle such person to a deduction
  for  depreciation  with respect to such interest under the provisions of
  the United States internal revenue code of  1986,  as  amended,  or  any
  successor  federal tax or revenue act, if the development of any part of

  provided that: (a) a person in which such  individual  has  a  financial
  interest  not exceeding five per centum of the equity of such person may
  be a developer of, and  may  share  in  any  profits  arising  from  the

  equivalent  body,  of  such  institution  on  any matter relating to the
  approval by the trust of such person as a developer of such portion  and

* § 25.01. Legislative  findings.  The  legislature finds and declares
  that  transactions  involving  tickets  for  admission  to   places   of
  entertainment  are  a  matter  of  public  interest  and  subject to the
  supervision of New York and the appropriate  political  subdivisions  of
  the  state  for  the  purpose  of safeguarding the public against fraud,
  extortion, and similar abuses.
The legislature further finds that many ticket resellers advertise and
  sell tickets to places of entertainment within  the  boundaries  of  New
  York  state  often from locations outside the state, without adhering to
  the provisions of this article. The legislature  objects  to  any  claim
  that  businesses domiciled outside New York state are exempted from this
  statute when selling tickets to events  occurring  in  New  York  state,
  regardless of the territories of origin of both the buyer and seller. It
  is  the  legislature's  intent that all governmental bodies charged with
  enforcement of this article, including the attorney general of New  York
  state  have  the  authority  to  regulate  the activities of all persons
  reselling tickets to venues located within this state to the full extent
  of the state's powers under the federal and state constitutions and that
  this article be construed in light of this purpose.
