Notwithstanding the provisions of any general or  special  law,  no   part   of  such  appropriation  shall  be  available  for  the  purposes   designated until a certificate of approval of  availability  shall  have   been issued by the director of the budget and a copy of such certificate   filed  with  the  state  comptroller, the chairman of the senate finance   committee and the chairman of the assembly  ways  and  means  committee.   Such  certificate  may  be  amended  from  time  to time, subject to the   approval of the director  of  the  budget,  and  a  copy  of  each  such   amendment shall be filed with the state comptroller, the chairman of the   senate finance committee and the chairman of the assembly ways and means   committee.3.  The  director  of  the  budget  shall not issue any certificate of   approval of availability  until  the  corporation  has  entered  into  a   written  agreement  with  the  director  of  the  budget  providing  for   repayment by such corporation to the state of an  amount  equal  to  the   total  amount expended by the state from such appropriation, on terms to   be determined by the  director  of  the  budget,  and  a  copy  of  such   agreement shall be filed with the state comptroller, the chairman of the   senate finance committee and the chairman of the assembly ways and means   committee.
