 AN ACT to amend the parks, recreation and historic preservation law,  in
   relation to state aid for snowmobile enforcement
 
   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. Subdivision 2 of section 27.15 of the parks, recreation and
 historic preservation law, as amended by chapter  341  of  the  laws  of
 2017, is amended to read as follows:
   2.  The amount of state aid to be allocated to counties, cities, towns
 or villages shall be  determined  by  the  commissioner  as  hereinafter
 provided.  The  commissioner  shall  determine the percentage proportion
 which the authorized expenditures of each individual county, city,  town
 or  village,  but  not  exceeding fifty thousand dollars for each county
 including the municipalities therein, shall bear to the total authorized
 expenditures of all the counties, cities, towns or villages for enforce-
 ment of such provisions during the fiscal year. Such percentage  propor-
 tion  shall  then  be  applied  against  an  amount equal to twenty-five
 percent of the amount received by the state in fees received for  regis-
 tration  of  snowmobiles during such fiscal year, to the extent only and
 not exceeding the sum of  [two]  THREE  hundred  thousand  dollars.  The
 amount  thus determined shall constitute the maximum amount of state aid
 to which each county, city, town or village shall be entitled. Provided,
 however, that no county, city, town or village shall receive  state  aid
 in  an amount in excess of three-quarters of its authorized expenditures
 as approved by the commissioner for such fiscal year.  The  commissioner
 shall  certify  to  the  comptroller the amount thus determined for each
 county, city, town or village as the amount of state aid  to  be  appor-
 tioned to such county, city, town or village.
   § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
