 Introduced by Sens. COMRIE, LIU -- read twice and ordered printed, and

 AN ACT to amend the public authorities law, in relation to allowing two
 automatic free transfers for riders using pay-per-ride Metrocards

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Section 1266 of the public authorities law is amended by
 2 adding a new subdivision 3-b to read as follows:
 3 3-b. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the authority shall
 4 establish a "two free transfers policy", provided, however, the authori-
 5 ty shall not pay any costs or expenses related to the two free transfers
 6 policy from its operating or capital budgets and may only implement the
 7 two free transfers policy with funds appropriated to it by the state of
 8 New York for such purpose. The two free transfers policy may be amended
 9 from time to time. Such policy shall provide any person who pays for a
 10 single fare or rate with at least two automatic free transfers at no
 11 additional cost between any subway and bus, or between buses that are
 12 owned and operated by the authority. Such transfers shall be valid for
 13 two hours from the time such fare or rate is collected by the authority
 14 at a transit facility.
 15 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
