        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:

     1    Section 1. The public authorities law  is  amended  by  adding  a  new
     2  section 389 to read as follows:
     3    §  389.  Thruway  toll holiday. Notwithstanding any other provision of
     4  law to the contrary, for the period beginning June first,  two  thousand
     5  twenty-two  through  August  thirty-first,  two  thousand twenty-two the
     6  authority shall suspend the collection of any fees, rentals  or  charges
     7  imposed  pursuant  to  subdivision eight of section three hundred fifty-
     8  four of this title for the use of the thruway or any part thereof.
     9    § 2. By November first, two thousand twenty-two, the comptroller shall
    10  transfer from the general fund to the thruway  authority  an  amount  no
    11  greater  than the amount that would have otherwise been collected by the
    12  thruway authority if the toll holiday established by section 389 of  the
    13  public  authorities law had not been authorized; provided, however, that
    14  the comptroller shall make such transfer only after the director of  the
    15  budget  has  determined  in  his  or her discretion that the transfer is
    16  necessary to ensure the thruway authority meets its expenses  and  obli-
    17  gations at the end of the toll collection holiday established by section
    18  389 of the public authorities law.
    19    §  3.  The  thruway  authority shall on an emergency basis, promulgate
    20  and/or amend any rules and regulations  necessary  to  provide  for  the
    21  provisions of this act.
    22    § 4. This act shall take effect immediately.
