      effect  of  repealing,  diminishing,  impairing  or  suspending  a power
      granted  by  this  statute  of  local  governments  and  thus  would  be
      ineffective  unless  re-enacted  and  approved in the following calendar
      year as provided by paragraph one of subdivision (b) of section  two  of
      article  nine  of the constitution, the effective date provision thereof
      shall read  substantially  as  follows:  "This  act  shall  take  effect
      (specify  effective  date  in  event  of re-enactment by legislature and
      approval by governor  in  next  calendar  year),  provided  that  it  is
      approved by the governor in accordance with paragraph one of subdivision
      (b) of section two of article nine of the constitution and provided that
      it  is re-enacted by the legislature and approved by the governor in the
      next calendar year in accordance with such paragraph."
        2.  Where  a  statute  enacted  in  one  year  is  introduced  in  the
      legislature   in   the  next  calendar  year  for  re-enactment  by  the
      legislature and approval thereafter by the governor in  accordance  with
      paragraph  one  of subdivision (b) of section two of article nine of the
      constitution, the effective date provision thereof shall  refer  to  the
      enactment   in  the  previous  year  and  shall,  in  addition,  provide
      substantially as follows:  "This act shall take effect  (set  forth  the
      effective  date),  provided  that  it  is  approved  by  the governor in
      accordance with paragraph one of  subdivision  (b)  of  section  two  of
