11 read as follows:
12 2. (a) The county executive or chief executive officer of each county
13 or, in the case of a county wholly contained within a city, such city
14 shall file an annual report which specifies in detail and certifies to
15 the [state comptroller] office of indigent legal services the total
16 expenditures of such county or city, identifying "local funds", as
17 defined in paragraph (c) of subdivision [four] two of section ninety-
18 eight-b of the state finance law, state funds, federal funds and funds
19 received from a "private source" as described in subdivision [four] two
20 of section ninety-eight-b of the state finance law, for providing legal
21 representation to persons who were financially unable to afford counsel,
22 pursuant to this article. Such annual report shall be made on a form
23 developed for such purpose by the [state comptroller] office of indigent

25 (b) Such annual report, detailing expenditures for the period January
26 first through December thirty-first of the previous calendar year, shall

35 impair, or invalidate the remainder thereof, but shall be confined in
36 its operation to the clause, sentence, paragraph, subdivision, section
37 or part thereof directly involved in the controversy in which such judg-
38 ment shall have been rendered. It is hereby declared to be the intent of
39 the legislature that this act would have been enacted even if such
40 invalid provisions had not been included herein.
41 § 3. This act shall take effect immediately provided, however, that
42 the applicable effective date of Parts A and B of this act shall be as
43 specifically set forth in the last section of such Parts.
