 AN ACT to amend the public authorities law, in relation to  establishing
   a temporary toll holiday for use of the thruway
 
   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

   Section 1. The public authorities law  is  amended  by  adding  a  new
 section 389 to read as follows:
   §  389.  THRUWAY  TOLL HOLIDAY. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF
 LAW TO THE CONTRARY, FOR THE PERIOD BEGINNING JUNE FIRST,  TWO  THOUSAND
 TWENTY-TWO  THROUGH  AUGUST  THIRTY-FIRST,  TWO  THOUSAND TWENTY-TWO THE
 AUTHORITY SHALL SUSPEND THE COLLECTION OF ANY FEES, RENTALS  OR  CHARGES
 IMPOSED  PURSUANT  TO  SUBDIVISION EIGHT OF SECTION THREE HUNDRED FIFTY-
 FOUR OF THIS TITLE FOR THE USE OF THE THRUWAY OR ANY PART THEREOF.
   § 2. By November first, two thousand twenty-two, the comptroller shall
 transfer from the general fund to the thruway  authority  an  amount  no
 greater  than the amount that would have otherwise been collected by the
 thruway authority if the toll holiday established by section 389 of  the
 public  authorities law had not been authorized; provided, however, that
 the comptroller shall make such transfer only after the director of  the
 budget  has  determined  in  his  or her discretion that the transfer is
 necessary to ensure the thruway authority meets its expenses  and  obli-
 gations at the end of the toll collection holiday established by section
 389 of the public authorities law.
   §  3.  The  thruway  authority shall on an emergency basis, promulgate
 and/or amend any rules and regulations  necessary  to  provide  for  the
 provisions of this act.
   § 4. This act shall take effect immediately.
 
 
 
  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.
