    10  ment shall not have been made for reimbursement of school districts  and
    11  boards  of  cooperative  educational services for the purposes of imple-

    18  been made on or before such date, the division of the budget shall noti-
    19  fy the legislative bill drafting commission upon the date such an appro-

    22  laws of the state  of  New  York  in  furtherance  of  effectuating  the
    23  provisions  of section 44 of the legislative law and section 70-b of the
