§ 304. Expenses. The commissioner shall be paid his necessary
traveling and other expenses. However, notwithstanding any law, rule,
regulation or agreement to the contrary, the commissioner shall not be
provided an official residence, nor shall the salary plan for the
president of the university of the state of New York, as provided in
subdivision three of section one hundred sixty-nine of the executive
law, make provision for an official residence. The commissioner of the

state-owned appurtenances associated with such residence. The proceeds
from such sale shall be deposited to the credit of the general fund.
