 deemed  repealed  after  the  signs  and  any other items are accurately
 updated. The chief executive officer of the metropolitan  transportation
 authority  or  president  of  the  New York city transit authority shall
 notify the legislative bill drafting commission upon the  completion  of
 such  updates  in order that the commission may maintain an accurate and
 timely effective data base of the official text of the laws of the state
 of New York in furtherance of effectuating the provisions of section  44
 of the legislative law and section 70-b of the public officers law.
