Summary
examining subsequent legislative history to determine the legislative intent behind an earlier amendment
Summary of this case from Woodard v. New York Health Hospitals Corp.Opinion
June 12, 1997
Based upon a review of the contemporary and subsequent legislative history as well as the 1974 amendment itself, it is unquestionably established that the true legislative intent was addressed solely to limited profit housing, and that the mistake in language was due to inadvertence or clerical error in inserting the new language of the 1974 amendment into the repealed language of the 1966 statute (L 1966, ch 772), instead of the then current 1967 statute a 1967, ch 699; see, Matter of Branford House v. Michetti, 81 N.Y.2d 681, 686).
