 5 November of each state fiscal year commencing with the state fiscal year
 6 beginning on April first, nineteen hundred eighty-four there shall be
 7 distributed and paid to counties, cities, towns and villages an amount
 8 equal to the moneys appropriated for the purposes of this section
 9 divided by the number of payment dates in that state fiscal year. Such
 10 amounts shall be distributed and paid pursuant to subdivision three of

 15 the most recent twelve month period. The commissioner shall increase
 16 appropriations by the rate of inflation for the most recent twelve month
 17 period that is available at the time the adjusted rate is calculated and
 18 announced using the national highway construction cost index, or a
 19 successor index as calculated by the United States federal highway
 20 administration, if such rate of inflation is greater than zero percent.
 21 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
