 ment of public service and the public service commission

 4 (g) The total amount which may be charged to any public utility compa-
 5 ny and the Long Island power authority under authority of this subdivi-
 6 sion for any state fiscal year shall not exceed one-third of one per
 7 centum of such public utility company's or authority's gross operating
 8 revenues derived from intrastate utility operations in the last preced-
 9 ing calendar year, or other twelve month period as determined by the
 10 chairman; provided, however, that no corporation or person that is
 11 subject to the jurisdiction of the commission only with respect to safe-
 12 ty, or the power authority of the state of New York, shall be subject to
 13 the general assessment provided for under this subdivision.

 17 rations for department expenses under the authority of subdivision one
 18 of this section for any state fiscal year shall not exceed one-third of
 19 one percentum of such corporation's gross operating revenue, over and
 20 above five hundred thousand dollars, derived from intrastate utility
 21 operations in the last preceding calendar year, or other twelve month
 22 period as determined by the chairman.
 23 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
