  Section  1.  Subdivision  14 of section 1266 of the public authorities
law, as added by chapter 307 of the laws of 1995, is amended to read  as
follows:
  14.  Notwithstanding  any  other provisions of law or the terms of any

Road as a condition of riding without cost; (b) requiring such  officers
to indicate during such registration process their regular working hours
and  the Long Island Rail Road trains that such officers expect to ride;
and (c) periodically re-registering and re-validating such officers. The
authority and the Long Island Rail Road shall also  have  the  power  to
consider  other  matters necessary to carry out the goals and objectives
of this section.
  S 2. This act shall take effect on the thirtieth day  after  it  shall
have become a law.
