     4  before October first of every fifth year thereafter, the authority shall
     5  submit to the  metropolitan  transportation  authority  capital  program
     6  review  board  a  twenty-year capital needs assessment.  Such assessment
     7  shall begin with the period commencing January first, two thousand twen-
     8  ty-seven, and begin each assessment with every  fifth  year  thereafter,
     9  and  describe capital investments over the succeeding twenty years. Such
    10  assessment shall: (1) set forth broad long-term capital  investments  to

    12  to be used by the authority in the  planning  of  strategic  investments

    17  ments" shall include but not be limited to: system rebuilding,  enhance-

    21  authority and shall be entered into the permanent record of the  minutes
    22  of the review board.
    23    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
