Passed by a majority vote, three-fifths being present.

The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assembly, do enact as follows:

§ 6. Certification of tax delinquency. The director of finance shall from time to time file in the office of the clerk of the legislature a list of parcels of property in such county, numbered serially, affected by unpaid tax liens held and owned by the county which on the date of such filing shall have been unpaid for a period of at least one year or more after the date on which the tax lien or tax sale certificate sold; and shall further furnish to the legislature in such listing all other transcripts of tax delinquencies and other abstracts from the records in his office of such delinquencies affecting the parcels enumerated. The parcels of delinquent real property shown on such list or lists shall be segregated, grouped and classified by city, town or village, so that all real property affected by such list lists and lying within each such city, town or village, shall be listed under the respective city, town or village. A listing under towns, which includes a village or villages therein, shall be deemed compliance with this provision. The inadvertent failure of the director of finance to include all the parcels in such list, or where more than one list is filed, all such parcels in any of the listings for the designated village, town or city shall not affect the validity of any proceedings brought hereunder. The legislature may thereupon direct that the in rem provisions of this act shall be applied to all or any part of such real property and the delinquent taxes set forth in such transcripts, as listed, and may direct the inclusion of other tax delinquency and tax delinquent property subject to such in rem foreclosure. Such legislature may direct foreclosure, as herein required, by separate and individual action as to each such list against all delinquent parcels separately listed and segregated within any one or more towns or villages of the county or within the city of Rochester, as such lists are prepared pursuant to the provisions hereof; and shall not approve for exclusion from any such separate or segregated list or lists any delinquent parcel therein without the accompanying written request of the director of finance stating the reason therefor. No parcel shall be excluded from any such list for reason other than the following: (a) that a question has been raised by a person having an interest in such parcel as to the validity of the tax lien affecting such parcel, or (b) that the tax district has instituted proceedings to enforce such tax lien by other existing statutory method or is in the process of instituting such proceedings and it satisfactorily appears that such action can be more acceptably accomplished and completed, for good and sufficient legal reasons, by foreclosure under other statutory method than by in rem proceedings, or (c) that an agreement has been duly made and executed between an eligible owner and the county, by the director of finance, and filed with the director of finance for the payment of such tax liens in installments, on the following terms and conditions: (1) Eligible owner. An agreement can only be entered into by an eligible owner and only if such owner does not have any title in any other parcel located within the county which is subject to taxation against which there is an unpaid tax lien unless that parcel is either already subject to an agreement, which is not in default, authorized by this section or will be made subject to such an agreement simultaneously with the making of the agreement which is to serve as the basis for an exclusion pursuant to this section, (2) Tax delinquency. An agreement can be entered into between an eligible owner and the county at any time after the [expiration of one year from the date an unpaid tax lien was levied by the legislature] last day of any sale of tax sale certificates for unpaid taxes as provided by the Monroe county tax act, (3) Term. The term of the agreement cannot exceed eighteen months from the date of the agreement, (4) Payments. Payments shall be made on a monthly basis unless the eligible owner and the county agree to quarterly, semi-annual or annual payments instead of monthly payments but in no event shall payments be made more frequently than monthly, (5) Prepayments. Prepayments can only be made with the consent of the county and in an amount equal to at least one installment sum, or any multiple thereof, and at the time an installment payment is due, (6) Interest. Interest shall be computed on all unpaid tax liens at the rate of one and one-half per centum for each month and/or fraction thereof through the last installment payment date, (7) Downpayment. A downpayment in an amount equal to at least twenty-five per centum of the combined sum of the unpaid tax liens and interest, as calculated in cordance with subparagraph (6) hereof, shall be paid on the date of the EXPLANATION-Matter in italics is new; matter in brackets [] is old law

ac

agreement, (8) Balance. The balance due under the agreement, after deducting the downpayment from the total combined sum of the unpaid tax liens and interest, shall be paid, as nearly as possible, in equal amounts on each payment due date. This amount shall be determined by dividing the balance by the number of required installment payments, (9) Payment due date. Each installment shall be due on the same calendar date as the agreement date, (10) Late charge. If the county has not received the full amount of any installment payment by the end of fifteen calendar days after the payment due date, the eligible owner shall pay a late charge to the county. The amount of the late charge shall be five percent of the overdue payment of principal and interest, (11) Default. The eligible owner shall be deemed to be in default of the agreement upon the happening of any of the following events: (i) any installment payment is not made within thirty days from the payment due date; (ii) any current county tax, assessment, fee or charge is not paid when due, that is, the last date on which the net bill can be paid without interest and penalty; (iii) the subject parcel is sold and the new owner does not obtain an assignment of the agreement; (iv) the eligible owner is in default of another agreement made and executed pursuant to this section. In the event of a default, the county shall have the right to require the entire unpaid balance, with interest and late charges, to be paid in full. The county shall also have the right to elect to institute either in personam or in rem tax foreclosure proceedings solely on the basis of the remaining unpaid tax liens, (12) Current taxes, assessments, fees and charges. The eligible owner shall pay when due all current taxes, assessments, fees and charges of the county which become due during the term of the agreement, (13) Sale of parcel. If the subject parcel is sold or otherwise conveyed during the term of the agreement, the balance due under the agreement shall be immediately due and payable unless the new owner applies for and obtains an assignment of the agreement from the county,(14) Assignment of agreement. The agreement shall not be assignable unless the county approves such assignment in writing. The county shall have the right to refuse approval of the assignment for any reason, (15) Non-waiver. Even if, at a time when the eligible owner is in default, the county does not either require the eligible owner to immediately pay in full as described in subparagraph (11) hereof, or elect to institute tax foreclosure proceedings, the county shall still have the right to do so if, at a later time, the eligible owner is in default again, (16) Other terms and conditions. The director of finance is authorized to make any other terms and conditions, as he deems appropriate, consistent with the provisions of this section, or (d) that such tax lien affects a parcel which is either a known or suspected hazardous waste site. The approval of such exclusion by the legislature shall be by resolution recorded in its minutes stating the reasons therefor. Such request for exclusion of any parcel or parcels shall be by separate listing and in the event any such request is denied, such parcel shall then be added to the original list from which it was omitted and at the end thereof so as not to interrupt the continuity of serial numbering. The legislature shall direct the tax foreclosure attorney in said county to conduct and consummate any foreclosure proceedings in rem.

Section 12 of chapter 905 of the laws of 1962, constituting the Monroe county in rem tax foreclosure act, as amended by chapter 310 of the laws of 1984, is amended to read as follows:
