BRODSKY -- read once and referred to the Commit- tee on Corporations, Authorities and Commissions -- committee discharged, bill amended, ordered reprinted as amended and recommitted to said committee AN ACT to amend chapter 55 of the laws of 2009 enacting the transporta- tion, economic development and environmental conservation budget for the 2009-2010 state fiscal year, in relation to reducing the metropol- itan transportation authority administrative expenditures THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: 1 Section 1. The legislature hereby determines that during the 2009-2010 2 fiscal year, the sum of money appropriated to the metropolitan transpor- 3 tation authority for their operating expenses was erroneously calcu- 4 lated. As such, the metropolitan transportation authority was appropri- 5 ated unnecessary money for its headquarters and administrative 6 expenditures. As such, the legislature has determined that this excess 7 money would be better suited to help offset the costs of the reduced 8 fare for school children program. 9 S 2.
