16 appropriated for that participant for the State fiscal year
17 ending June 30, 2002, plus, in each State fiscal year, a 10%
18 increase over the preceding State fiscal year. For State
19 fiscal year 2002, the maximum eligible operating expenses for
20 any such participant shall be the amount of projected
21 operating expenses upon which the appropriation for that
22 participant for State fiscal year 2002 is based. For that
23 participant, eligible operating expenses for State fiscal

1 year 2002 in excess of the eligible operating expenses for
2 the State fiscal year ending June 30, 2001, plus 10%, must
3 be attributed to the provision of services in the newly

5 With respect to a participant that receives an initial

8 be the amount appropriated for that participant for the State
9 fiscal year ending June 30, 2003, plus, in each year, a 10%
10 increase over the preceding year. For State fiscal year
11 2003, the maximum eligible operating expenses for any such
12 participant shall be the amount of projected operating
13 expenses upon which the appropriation for that participant
14 for State fiscal year 2003 is based.
15 The 10% maximum increase over the amount appropriated for
16 the preceding year, however, may be exceeded for a
17 participant that received an initial appropriation in Fiscal
18 Year 1994 or Fiscal Year 1998. For any such participant, a
19 10% maximum increase over the amount appropriated in the
20 preceding year is established in each subsequent year
21 following the Fiscal Year when the amount appropriated is
22 equal to or greater than the maximum allowable under Section
23 2-7 of this Act."; and
24 on page 4, immediately below line 3, by inserting the

1 determine whether the and upon determining that such
2 operating deficits were incurred in conformity with the
3 program of proposed expenditures approved by the Department
4 pursuant to Section 2-11. Any Metro-East District may either
5 monthly or quarterly for any fiscal year file a request for
6 the participant's eligible share, as allocated in accordance
7 with Section 2-6, of the amounts transferred into the
8 Metro-East Public Transportation Fund, pay to any Metro-East
9 Transit District participant such portion of such operating
10 deficit as funds have been transferred to the Metro-East
11 Transit Public Transportation Fund and allocated to that
12 Metro-East Transit District participant.
13 (b) Each participant other than any Metro-East Transit
14 District participant shall, 30 days before the end of each
15 quarter, file with the Department on forms provided by the
16 Department for such purposes a report of the projected
17 eligible operating expenses to be incurred in the next
18 quarter and 30 days before the third and fourth quarters of
19 any fiscal year a statement of actual eligible operating
20 expenses incurred in the preceding quarters. Within 45 days
21 of receipt by the Department of such quarterly report, the
22 Comptroller shall order paid and the Treasurer shall pay from
23 the Downstate Public Transportation Fund to each participant
24 an amount equal to one-third of such participant's eligible

3 46% in Fiscal Year 1999, 48% in Fiscal Year 2000, and 50% in
4 Fiscal Year 2001 and thereafter. Any such payment for the
5 third and fourth quarters of any fiscal year shall be
6 adjusted to reflect actual eligible operating expenses for
7 preceding quarters of such fiscal year. However, no
8 participant shall receive an amount less than that which was
9 received in the immediate prior year, provided in the event
10 of a shortfall in the fund those participants receiving less
11 than their full allocation pursuant to Section 2-6 of this
12 Article shall be the first participants to receive an amount
13 not less than that received in the immediate prior year.
14 (c) No later than 180 days following the last day of the
15 Fiscal Year each participant shall provide the Department
16 with an audit prepared by a Certified Public Accountant
17 covering that Fiscal Year. Any discrepancy between the
18 grants paid and one-third of the eligible operating expenses
19 or in the case of the Bi-State Metropolitan Development
20 District the approved program amount shall be reconciled by
21 appropriate payment or credit. Beginning in Fiscal Year 1985,
22 For those participants other than a Metro-East Transit
23 District the Bi-State Metropolitan Development District, any
24 discrepancy between the grants paid and the percentage of the
25 eligible operating expenses provided for by paragraph (b) of
26 this Section shall be reconciled by appropriate payment or
27 credit. In the case of any Metro-East Transit District, any
28 amount of payments from the Metro-East Public Transportation
29 Fund which exceed the eligible deficit of the participant
30 shall be reconciled by appropriate payment or credit.
