OPERATING ASSISTANCE

For   state  financial  assistance,  net  of
  disallowances, for operating  expenses  of
  community colleges to be expended pursuant
  to  regulations  developed  jointly by the
  state university  trustees  and  the  city
  university  trustees  and  approved by the
  director of the budget and  shall  include
  funds  available  on  a  matching basis to
  implement programs for  the  provision  of
  education  and  training services to indi-
  viduals   eligible   under   the   federal
  personal  responsibility and work opportu-
  nity reconciliation act of 1996.
Notwithstanding any other provision of  law,
  rule  or regulation, aid payable from this
  appropriation to community colleges  shall
  be  distributed  to the colleges according
  to  guidelines  established  by  the  city
  university trustees.
Notwithstanding  any  other  law,  rule,  or
  regulation to the contrary,  full  funding
  for  aidable  community college enrollment
  for the college fiscal years  2000-01  and
  heretofore as provided under  this  appro-
  priation  is  determined  by the operating
  aid formulas defined in  rules  and  regu-
  lations developed jointly by the boards of
  trustees  of  the state and city universi-
  ties and approved by the director  of  the
  budget provided that the local sponsor may
  use funds contained in reserves for excess
  student revenue for operating support of a
  community college program even though said
  expenditures   may   cause   expenses  and
  student revenues to  exceed  one-third  of
  the college's net operating budget for the
