     4  contract, the authority, in consultation with the Long Island Rail Road,
     5  shall establish and implement a no fare program  for  transportation  on
     6  the  Long  Island  Rail  Road for duly enrolled members of the auxiliary
     7  police of the county of Nassau and Nassau county  villages  and  cities.
     8  In establishing such program, which has as its goal increased protection
     9  and improved safety for its commuters, the authority and the Long Island
    10  Rail  Road  shall,  among  other  things,  consider:  (a) requiring such
    11  members who ride without cost to register with the Long Island Rail Road
    12  as a condition of riding without cost; (b)  requiring  such  members  to
    13  indicate  during  such  registration process their regular working hours
    14  and the Long Island Rail Road trains that such members expect  to  ride;
    15  and  (c) periodically re-registering and re-validating such members. The
    16  authority and the Long Island Rail Road shall also  have  the  power  to
    17  consider  other  matters necessary to carry out the goals and objectives
    18  of this subdivision.
    19    § 2. This act shall take effect on the thirtieth day  after  it  shall
    20  have become a law.
