   Section 1. Subdivision 3 of section 169 of the executive law, as added
 by chapter 263 of the laws of 1987, is amended to read as follows:
   3.(A) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section or any other
 provision  of law, the boards of trustees of the state university of New
 York and the city university of New York shall each establish and imple-
 ment salary plans for the chancellors, presidents and senior  staffs  of
 such  state  and  city  universities, respectively. The board of regents
 shall establish and implement a separate salary plan for  the  president
 of  the  university  of the state of New York, setting forth the compen-
 sation to be received by the president for performing the duties of that
 office assigned by the rules of the regents or statute, which  shall  be
 in  addition to the compensation received by such person pursuant to the
 provisions of subdivisions one and two of this  section.    Such  salary
 plans  shall  be developed after consultation with the governor's office
 of employee relations and the division of the budget.   Any increase  in
 compensation for the positions set forth in this subdivision, not other-
 wise  funded  from any appropriation, shall be funded from reallocations
 of funds within the appropriations specifically identified by the afore-
 mentioned boards. Each board of trustees and the board of regents  shall
 file a proposed salary plan report with the chairs of the senate finance
 committee  and the assembly ways and means committee and the director of
 the budget at least sixty days prior to the effective date of such sala-
 ry plan. Each salary plan report shall set forth  the  salary  schedule,
 the  dollar value of additional public compensation and other employment

 benefits that such positions would  receive,  the  specific  sources  of
 funding  to  be reallocated for salary increases, the amount of increase
 to be provided to each position, the comparison salary data on which the
 plan  is based, and such other information as the boards of trustees and
 the board of regents deem appropriate.
   (B) NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS SECTION OR  ANY  OTHER
 PROVISION  OF  LAW TO THE CONTRARY, NO PRESIDENT OF ANY STATE UNIVERSITY
 OF NEW YORK OR CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK SHALL RECEIVE ANNUAL  COMPEN-
 SATION FROM ANY STATE AGENCY OR AGENCIES, IN AGGREGATE, THAT EXCEEDS THE

 have become a law.
