§ 103. Tolls for lock and lift bridge passage by vessels and use of locks and lift bridges. 1. The corporation shall have the power to impose tolls for the passage through locks and lift bridges by vessels which are propelled in whole or in part by mechanical power, and to collect such tolls by the sale of lock and lift bridge passes issued for such periods of time as the corporation shall determine. Tolls for such lock and lift bridge passes shall be established by regulation of the corporation with the advice of the canal recreationway commission and following no fewer than two public hearings at geographically dispersed locations on the canal system. In addition, the corporation may provide by regulation for the sale of lock and lift bridge passes by any other entity, and may allow a charge for handling by such other entities not to exceed one dollar for each pass. No tolls shall be imposed or collected prior to the first day of April, nineteen hundred ninety-three. Vessels owned by the United States, a state, or subdivision thereof shall be exempted from the tolls authorized by this section.
2. The use of locks and lift bridges by pleasure and residential vessels shall not interfere with the use of locks and lift bridges by public vessels. Pleasure, residential and public vessels shall have the same meaning as defined in the navigation law.
3. Revenues realized from the imposition of lock and lift bridge tolls shall be deposited in the canal fund.
