    § 182. Diversion of funds dedicated to the metropolitan transportation
  authority  or  the  New  York  city  transit  authority and any of their
  subsidiaries to the  general  fund  of  the  state  is  prohibited.  The
  director  shall be prohibited from diverting revenues derived from taxes
  and fees paid by the public into any fund created by law including,  but
  not  limited  to  sections eighty-eight-a and eighty-nine-c of the state
  finance law and chapter twenty-five of the laws of two thousand nine for
  the purpose of funding the metropolitan transportation authority or  the
  New  York  city transit authority and any of their subsidiaries into the
  general fund of the state or into any  other  fund  maintained  for  the
  support of another governmental purpose. No diversion of funds can occur
  contrary to this section by an administrative act of the director or any
  other  person  in  the  executive  branch unless the governor declares a
  fiscal emergency, and  communicates  such  emergency  to  the  temporary
  president  of  the  senate and speaker of the assembly, and a statute is
  enacted into  law  authorizing  a  diversion  that  would  otherwise  be
  prohibited by this section.
