  prescribed  by such rules, which would substantially affect the revenues
  or expenses, or both, of any political subdivision.

  to the provisions of section fifty of this chapter, or  (b)  accompanied
  by  special  home  rule requests submitted by political subdivisions, or
  (c) which provide discretionary authority to political subdivisions,  or
  (d) submitted pursuant to section twenty-four of the state finance law.
