 AN ACT to amend the public authorities law, in relation to exempting the

   THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section  1.  Subdivision  1  of section 2975 of the public authorities
 law, as added by chapter 62 of the laws of 1989, is amended to  read  as
 follows:
   1.  Notwithstanding  any other provision of law to the contrary, every
 public authority and every public  benefit  corporation  created  by  or
 pursuant  to  [New  York]  state law at least three of whose members are
 appointed by the governor, whether  such  authority  or  corporation  is
 otherwise governed by this chapter (such entities, as so constituted, to
 be  hereafter  in  this  title  referred  to  as  "public benefit corpo-
 rations"), shall reimburse to [New York] THE state an allocable share of
 state governmental costs attributable to the provision  of  services  to
 public  benefit  corporations,  as  determined  [herein]  IN THIS TITLE.
 PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THE PROVISIONS OF  THIS  SECTION  AND,  FOR  THE
 PURPOSES  OF  THIS  SECTION, THE TERM "PUBLIC BENEFIT CORPORATION" SHALL
 NOT INCLUDE THE METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY, AS ESTABLISHED IN
 TITLE ELEVEN OF ARTICLE FIVE OF THIS CHAPTER. The payment of such  costs
 by  public  benefit corporations is a valid and proper purpose for which
 available authority funds may be applied.
   § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
