 2 law, as amended by chapter 182 of the laws of 2013, is amended to read
 3 as follows:
 4 14. Notwithstanding any other provisions of law or the terms of any
 5 contract, the authority, in consultation with the Long Island Rail Road,
 6 shall establish and implement a no fare program for transportation on

 22 expect to ride; and (c) periodically re-registering and re-validating
 23 such officers. The authority and the Long Island Rail Road shall also
 24 have the power to consider other matters necessary to carry out the
 25 goals and objectives of this section.
