Section 341-a of the Village Law as added thereto by Chapter
650 of the Laws of 927, as it applies to the Village of Malone, is
hereby amended to read as follows:
"Section 341-a. Liability of Village in certain actions.
No civil action shall be brought or maintained against the Village
of Malone for damages or injuries to person or property sustained
in consequence of any street, highway, bridge, culvert, sidewalk or
crosswalk being defective, out of repair, unsafe, dangerous or obstructed,
or in consequence of the existence or accumulation of snow or ice
upon any street, highway, bridge, culvert, sidewalk or crosswalk,
unless written notice of the existence of such condition, relating
to the particular place, had theretofore actually been given to the
Board of Trustees of the Village of Malone and there had been a failure
or neglect on the part of said village to cause such condition to
be corrected or such snow or ice to be removed, or the place made
reasonably safe within a reasonable time after the receipt of such
notice."
Nothing herein contained, however, shall be held to revive any
claim or cause of action now barred by any existing requirement or
statute of limitations nor to waive any existing limitation now applicable
to any claim or cause of action against the Village of Malone.
This local law shall take effect immediately.
