 have  become  a  law; provided that this act shall be deemed repealed if
 any federal agency determines in writing that this act would render  New
 York  state  ineligible for the receipt of federal funds or any court of
 competent jurisdiction finally determines that this act would render New
 York state out  of  compliance  with  federal  law  or  regulation;  and
 provided that the commissioner of transportation shall notify the legis-
 lative  bill  drafting  commission  upon any such determination in order
 that the commission may maintain an accurate and timely  effective  data
 base of the official text of the laws of the state of New York in furth-
 erance  of  effectuating the provisions of section 44 of the legislative
 law and section 70-b of the public officers law. Effective  immediately,
 the  addition,  amendment and/or repeal of any rule or regulation neces-
 sary for the implementation of  this  act  on  its  effective  date  are
 authorized to be made and completed on or before such effective date.
