 AN ACT to amend the railroad law, in relation to requiring certain rail-

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-

 10 sary for the implementation of this section.

 12 have become a law; provided that this act shall be deemed repealed if
 13 any federal agency determines in writing that this act would render New

 16 York state out of compliance with federal law or regulation; and
 17 provided that the commissioner of transportation shall notify the legis-
 18 lative bill drafting commission upon any such determination in order
 19 that the commission may maintain an accurate and timely effective data

 21 erance of effectuating the provisions of section 44 of the legislative
 22 law and section 70-b of the public officers law. Effective immediately,
 23 the addition, amendment and/or repeal of any rule or regulation neces-
 24 sary for the implementation of this act on its effective date are
 25 authorized to be made and completed on or before such effective date.
