Introduced by Sen. C. JOHNSON -- read twice and ordered printed, and

AN ACT in relation to authorizing the metropolitan transportation
authority to submit two-year capital program plans to the metropolitan
transportation authority capital program review board
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary,
the two capital program plans for the five-year period commencing Janu-
ary 1, 2010 required to be submitted by the metropolitan transportation
authority to the metropolitan transportation authority capital program
review board pursuant to section 1269-b of the public authorities law
shall contain capital programs for only the two-year period from January
1, 2010 to December 31, 2011. Such two-year plans shall be approved or
disapproved in the same manner as set forth in such section 1269-b, and
all other provisions of such section shall continue to apply to such
plans. The legislature recognizes that the needs of the metropolitan
transportation authority should be addressed on a long-term stable
basis, and this authorization for the submission of two-year capital
program plans shall not permit the metropolitan transportation authority
to cease or reduce its five-year planning process. On or before October
1, 2010, the metropolitan transportation authority shall submit amend-
ments to these two-year plans to cover the five-year period commencing
January 1, 2010, and hereafter no further two-year submissions shall be
permitted. This section shall only apply to such two-year plans submit-
ted for calendar years 2010 and 2011.
S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
