It is adjudged and declared that section 61 of part D of section 1 of chapter 56 of the Laws of 2012 has not been shown to be unconstitutional, and as modified the judgment is affirmed without costs (see Matter of County of Chautauqua v Shah, 126 AD3d 1317 [2015]). Present—Smith, J.P., Carni, Lindley, Sconiers and DeJoseph, JJ.
