§ 183. Diversion of funds dedicated to the Niagara frontier

transportation authority to the general fund of the state is prohibited.

The director shall be prohibited from diverting revenues derived from

taxes and fees paid by the public into any fund created by law

including, but not limited to section ninety-nine-h of the state finance

law, as amended by chapter seven hundred forty-seven of the laws of two

thousand six, for the purpose of funding the Niagara frontier

transportation authority and any of its subsidiaries into the general

fund of the state or into any other fund maintained for the support of

another governmental purpose. No diversion of funds can occur contrary

to this section by an administrative act of the director or any other

person in the executive branch unless the governor declares a fiscal

emergency, and communicates such emergency to the temporary president of

the senate and speaker of the assembly, and a statute is enacted into

law authorizing a diversion that would otherwise be prohibited by this

section.
