     3  57 of the laws of 2005, is amended to read as follows:
     4    (3) The commissioner may waive the requirements of  subparagraphs  one
     5  and  two  of  this  paragraph,  if  the commissioner determines that the

     6  application of such subparagraphs would result in excessive hardship for
     7  the public library  system  or  central  library  brought  about  by  an
     8  extraordinary  change in a local sponsor's economic condition, loss by a
     9  local sponsor of state aid to local governments provided  under  section
    10  fifty-four  of  the  state  finance law, or by a natural disaster. [Such
    11  waiver may be granted only one time to each  public  library  system  or
    12  central  library within five calendar years.  The commissioner may grant
    13  such waiver for a period of up to two consecutive calendar  years.]  The
    14  commissioner  may  grant such waiver for a period of up to three consec-
    15  utive calendar years. The commissioner shall report any waivers  granted
    16  under  this  subparagraph  to the speaker of the assembly, the temporary

    17  president of the senate, the chairs of the legislative fiscal committees
    18  and the director of the division of the budget.
    19    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
