2. A fractional share of the expenses of administration, as determined
pursuant to subdivision three of this section, shall be charged against
and payable from the following sources:
(a) If the salary or compensation of ten or more positions in any
department or agency of the state is payable from a special or
administrative fund, other than the state purposes fund or the local
assistance fund or the capital construction fund of the general fund of
the state, or an income fund of the state university, or the mental

assessed or to be collected or refunded pursuant to law, such fractional
share shall be included in and payable from such appropriation;
(c) Such fractional share shall be payable by each public authority
having ten or more positions.
3. For the purpose of computing the fractional share of the expenses
of administration for any fiscal year to be payable from a source
specified in subdivision two of this section, the numerator of such
fraction shall be the number of positions the salary or compensation of
which is payable from such source and the denominator shall be the total
number of positions in the service of the state and public authorities.
The numbers of positions shall be the numbers of positions existing as
of October thirty-first in such fiscal year.
4. As soon as practicable after the close of the fiscal year ending

as practicable after the close of each fiscal year, the president shall
determine the amount representing the share of expenses of
administration for such fiscal year chargeable to each source specified
in subdivision two of this section, and shall certify such amount to the
appropriate department or agency of the state or public authority. Such
sums shall be payable to the commissioner of taxation and finance at the
beginning of the fiscal year following such certification.
