AN ACT to amend the navigation law, in relation to the rates set by  the
  Sandy Hook pilots surcharge board

  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. Paragraph (e) of subdivision 4 of section 88 of the naviga-
tion law, as added by chapter 235 of the laws of  1999,  is  amended  to
read as follows:
  (e) There is hereby created a segregated fund to be known as the capi-
tal  expense fund. Such segregated fund shall be initially funded by the
increase in the base pilotage  tariff  as  set  forth  in  item  (A)  of
subclause  one  of  clause  (ii) of subparagraph one of paragraph (b) of
this subdivision by not more than seventy-five dollars  per  ship.  Such
surcharge,  upon  annual  review  and  approval of the Sandy Hook pilots
surcharge board, shall be imposed and used for the purposes of  funding,
after the payment of reasonable and necessary expenses, capital expendi-
tures including: the payment of outstanding debt related to the reengin-
ing  of  the  pilot  boat  Sandy  Hook;  the payment of outstanding debt
related to the rebuilding of the bulkhead and pier  at  the  Sandy  Hook
Pilot  base  at Staten Island, New York; the payment of outstanding debt
related to and the extraordinary repairs to the pilot boat New York;  to
secure  four  new  pilot launches; and to fund all extraordinary capital
expenses (those  beyond  normal  operating  expenses)  approved  by  the
surcharge  board  along with portable DGPS pilot units, if deemed appro-
priate by the surcharge board.
  Such surcharge may fund similar future expenditures upon annual review
and approval of the Sandy Hook  pilot  surcharge  board.  The  surcharge
board  may  set  the  rate not to exceed [one hundred twenty-five] THREE
HUNDRED dollars per ship. The surcharge board is  hereby  authorized  to
reduce or suspend payment of the surcharge set forth herein to take into
account  any monies dedicated or awarded to the pilot capital needs from
sources other than the tariff and surcharges set forth in this article.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
