AN ACT to amend the  navigation  law,  in  relation  to  the  authorized
  reimbursement  rate paid to governmental entities for local navigation
  enforcement expenditures

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

  Section  1.  Subdivision  3  of section 79-b of the navigation law, as
amended by section 1 of part D of chapter 109 of the laws  of  2010,  is
amended to read as follows:
  3.  The  amount  of state aid to be allocated to eligible governmental
entities pursuant to this article shall be determined by the commission-
er  as  hereinafter  provided.  The  commissioner  shall  determine  the
percentage proportion which the authorized expenditures of each individ-
ual  entity, not exceeding four hundred thousand dollars for each county
including municipalities therein, shall bear  to  the  total  authorized
expenditures  of  all entities. Such percentage proportion shall then be
applied against an amount equal to one-half of the total of  the  amount
received by the state in each preceding program year in vessel registra-
tion  fees  as  provided  in section twenty-two hundred fifty-one of the
vehicle and traffic law, less no more than thirty  percent,  subject  to
appropriation, which may be used by the commissioner and the commission-
er  of motor vehicles for administrative costs of the program, including
training and equipment, and by the department of environmental conserva-
tion, the division of state police and other state agencies, subject  to
the approval of the commissioner, for the purposes of this article, plus
the  entire  amount  received  pursuant  to  subdivision nine of section
forty-four of this chapter. The amount thus determined shall  constitute
the maximum amount of state aid to which each such entity shall be enti-
tled;  provided,  however,  that no entity shall receive state aid in an
amount in excess of  [fifty]  SEVENTY-FIVE  percent  of  its  authorized
expenditures  as approved by the commissioner for such program year. The
commissioner shall certify to the comptroller the amount thus determined
