§  2566.  Appropriations.  1.  To  assure  the continued operation and
  solvency of the corporation for the carrying out of the public  purposes
  of  this  act, there may be, notwithstanding any provision of law to the
  contrary, annually apportioned and paid to the corporation such sum,  if
  any,  as  shall  be  appropriated  in the first instance by the state as
  necessary to enable the  corporation  to  meet  all  items  of  expense,
  including proper maintenance of the convention center, that are approved
  by  the  director of the budget to be incurred by the corporation in the
  next succeeding state fiscal year. The chairman of the corporation shall
  annually, on or before September fifteenth,  make  and  deliver  to  the
  governor  and  the  director  of  the  budget for their approval and for
  submission to the legislature a budget request for the operations of the
  corporation. The request shall delineate the  total  amount  needed  for
  corporate  purposes,  the  source  and  amount  of  other funds that the
  corporation expects to  receive,  and  such  other  information  as  the
  director  of  the  budget shall require. The sum or sums appropriated in
  the first instance, or so much thereof as shall be necessary,  shall  be
  apportioned  and paid to the corporation during the course of the fiscal
  year as needed.
2. 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.  Notwithstanding  the  provisions  of  section forty-a of the
  state finance law and any other general or  special  law,  such  written
  agreement  shall  require  repayment  only to the extent that moneys are
  available  from  the  convention  center  operating   corporation   fund
  established in accordance with section twenty-five hundred sixty-nine of
  this title.
