Such appropriation  for  payment  of  revenues projected to be deposited in the succeeding fiscal  year shall, notwithstanding the provisions  of  section  forty  of  this  chapter, take effect on the first day of such succeeding fiscal year and  lapse  on  the  last  day  of  such  fiscal year. If for any fiscal year  commencing on or after the first day of  April,  two  thousand  ten  the  governor  fails to submit a budget bill containing the foregoing, or the  legislature fails to  enact  a  bill  with  such  provisions,  then  the  metropolitan  transportation authority shall notify the comptroller, the  director of the budget, the chairperson of the senate finance  committee  and  the chairperson of the assembly ways and means committee of amounts  required  to  be  disbursed  from  the  appropriation  made  during  the  preceding fiscal year for payment in such fiscal year. In no event shall  the  comptroller  make any payments from such appropriation prior to May  first of such fiscal year, and unless and  until  the  director  of  the  budget,  the  chairperson  of  the  senate  finance  committee  and  the  chairperson of the assembly ways and means committee have been  notified  of the required payments and the timing of such payments to be made from  the  mobility  tax  trust  account  to  the  metropolitan transportation  authority finance fund established by section twelve  hundred  seventy-h  of  the  public  authorities law at least forty-eight hours prior to any  such  payments.  Until  such  time  as   payments   pursuant   to   such  appropriation  are  made  in  full,  revenues  in the mobility tax trust  account shall not be paid over to any person other than the metropolitan  transportation authority.    6. (a) The "metropolitan transportation authority aid  trust  account"  shall  consist  of revenues required to be deposited therein pursuant to  the provisions of section eleven hundred sixty-six-a  of  the  tax  law;  article twenty-nine-A of the tax law; article seventeen-C of the vehicle  and  traffic  law;  and  section  five  hundred three of the vehicle and  traffic law, and all other moneys credited or transferred  thereto  from  any other fund or source pursuant to law.    (b)  Moneys  in  the  metropolitan  transportation authority aid trust  account shall, following appropriation by the legislature, be  deposited  quarterly  by  the comptroller into the corporate transportation account  of the metropolitan transportation  authority  special  assistance  fund  established   by   section   twelve  hundred  seventy-a  of  the  public  authorities  law,  to  be  applied  as  provided  in  paragraph  (e)  of  subdivision  four of such section twelve hundred seventy-a of the public  authorities law.    7. Nothing contained in this section shall be deemed to  restrict  the  right  of the state to amend, repeal, modify or otherwise alter statutes  imposing or relating to  the  taxes  and  fees  producing  revenues  for  deposit   in   the   metropolitan   transportation  authority  financial  assistance fund or the appropriations relating thereto. The metropolitan  transportation  authority  shall  not  include  within  any  resolution,  contract  or  agreement  with holders of the bonds or notes issued under  section twelve hundred sixty-nine of  the  public  authorities  law  any  provision  which provides that a default occurs as a result of the state  exercising its right to amend, repeal, modify or  otherwise  alter  such  taxes or appropriations.
