 as follows:
   7.  Preference in admission to a project with an open waiting list, as

 ity  for  an internal transfer in the project in which they are residing

 or the supervising agency.
   § 2. This act shall take effect on the one hundred eightieth day after
 it shall have become a law. Effective immediately, the addition,  amend-
 ment and/or repeal of any rule or regulation necessary for the implemen-
