  require. The director of the budget shall approve  the  budget  for  the
  operation  of  the  authority and the governor shall recommend in his or

  without  operating  at a deficit, can continue in the forthcoming fiscal
  year of the state, in the exercise of its  corporate  purposes,  powers,
  duties  and  functions  with  the appropriations from the state and park
  district  in  the  amounts  determined  in  accordance   with   sections

  title.
4. To further assist the  authority  in  carrying  out  its  corporate
  purposes,  the governor shall recommend to the legislature in his annual
  budget appropriation of such funds as may be available for such purposes
  from the earnings and accumulated  income  upon  the  principal  of  the
  winter  sports  education  trust  fund,  pursuant to subdivision four of
  section four hundred ninety-five-a of the education law.
5. Notwithstanding the provisions of any general or  special  law,  no
  part  of  such  appropriations  shall  be  available  for  the  purposes

  been issued by the director of the budget and a copy of such certificate
  is  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.
