certifying employment after the effective date of this subdivision shall
credit 3.35 hours worked for each hour of lecture or classroom time,

supersede any greater adjustment factor established by a collective

that term is defined in this article, for the purpose of certifying
employment for the public service loan forgiveness program only, a
public service employer shall not treat any adjusted total hours worked
pursuant to subdivision one of this section differently from hours
worked without an adjustment factor.
3. For the purpose of certifying employment only, a public service
employer shall consider as "full-time" any employee who satisfies the
definition of "full-time" provided in this article.
