    44  shall prevent increasing amounts paid to incumbents of such positions in
    45  the professional  service  in  addition  to  the  basic  annual  salary,
    46  provided,  however,  that the amounts required for such increase and the
    47  cost of fringe benefits attributable to such increase, as determined  by
    48  the  comptroller, are made available to the state in accordance with the
    49  procedures established by the state university, with the approval of the
    50  director of the budget, for such purposes.
    51    (e) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this section or
    52  any law to the contrary, any increase in compensation may be withheld in
    53  whole or in part from any  employee  to  whom  the  provisions  of  this
    54  section apply pursuant to section seven of this act.

     4    §  6.  This  act  shall take effect immediately and shall be deemed to
     5  have been in full force and effect on and after April 1, 2016.
