    1    Section 1. Section 72-c of the general municipal law,  as  amended  by

   10  follows:  on  a pro rata basis, to be calculated by subtracting from the
   11  number of days in the three years following the  date  of  the  member's
   12  graduation  from  police training school, the number of days between the
   13  date of the member's graduation from training school and the date of the
   14  termination of employment with the municipal corporation which paid  for
   15  such  training,  and  multiplying the difference by the per diem cost of
   16  such expenses, to be calculated by  dividing  the  total  cost  of  such
   17  expenses  by the number of days in the three years following the date of
   18  the member's graduation, if such  change  in  employment  occurs  within
   19  three  years  of  such  member's graduation from police training school.

   22  corporation  for  that portion of such expenses which is reimbursable by

   24  of  an  employment  or  labor agreement. Provided, further, however, the
   25  employer municipal corporation or employer county sheriff shall  not  be
   26  required  to reimburse the prior employer municipal corporation for such
   27  basic training if such change in employment occurs after the  expiration
   28  of  the  validity of the member's certificate attesting to the satisfac-
   29  tory completion of an approved municipal police basic training program.
