Section 117-C. Hawking, peddling, vending, sale of goods, wares or merchandise; Erie county; certain areas

Notwithstanding any law to  the  contrary,  except  section  thirty-five of the general business law, the
  county of Erie shall have the power to enact  a  local  law  prohibiting
  hawking,  peddling,  vending  and sale of goods, wares or merchandise or
  solicitation of trade in the right-of-way of county  roads  adjacent  to
  arenas,  stadiums,  auditoriums  or like facilities, which contain fifty
  thousand or more seats, which are used  for  events  likely  to  attract
  large  numbers of spectators, including but not limited to home games of
  a National Football League franchise. Provided, however, that the  power
  to  enact  such  local  law  shall  be  subject  to the requirement that
  provision be made, by lease agreement, regulation or otherwise, for  the
  hawking,  peddling,  vending and sales of goods, wares or merchandise or
  solicitation of trade in designated  vending  areas  on  the  ground  of
  county-owned  lands leased for use as an arena, stadium or auditorium or
  like facility which contain fifty thousand or more  seats;  and  further
  provided  that  honorably  discharged members of the armed forces of the
  United States who are entitled to hawk, vend, sell or peddle merchandise
  in  the  public  right-of-way  pursuant  to  sections   thirty-two   and
  thirty-five of the general business law, shall be given first preference
  in  any  assignment  or  vending  locations or in the allocation of such
  locations.
