     3  laws of 2011, is amended to read as follows:
     4    (a)  Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of this section or any
     5  other contrary provision of law  and  subject  to  the  availability  of
     6  federal  financial  participation, the non-capital component of rates of
     7  payment by governmental agencies  for  inpatient  services  provided  by

    19  year costs.
    20    §  2.  This  act  shall take effect immediately and shall be deemed to
    21  have been in full force and effect on and after April 1, 2023.
