A local law, described in section 209.171, shall not take effect until at least 60 days after its adoption nor until approved
by the affirmative vote of a majority of the qualified electors of the county voting
on a proposition for its approval, if within 60 days after its adoption there be filed
with the County Board of Elections a petition protesting against such local law, signed
and acknowledged by resident qualified electors of the county in number equal to at
least ten percentum of the total number of votes cast for Governor at the last gubernatorial
election in the county. If such petition is so filed, a proposition for the approval
of such local law shall be submitted at the next general election held not less than
60 days after the filing of such petition, unless the County Board adopts a local
law submitting such proposition at a special election held not less than 60 days after
the adoption of the local law providing for such special election. The petition may
be made upon separate sheets, and the signatures to each sheet shall be authenticated
in the manner provided by the Election Law for the authentication of designating petitions.
The several sheets so signed and authenticated, when fastened together and offered
for filing, shall be deemed to constitute one petition. If within three days after
the filing of such a petition a written objection thereto is filed with the County
Board of Elections, the Supreme Court or any Justice thereof, of the judicial district
in which the county is located, shall determine any question arising thereunder and
make such order as justice may require. Such proceeding shall be heard and determined
in the manner prescribed by the Election Law.
