        2.  Such  account  shall  consist  (a)  of  any and all unexpended and
      unencumbered moneys received by the state university of  New  York  from
      tuition,  fees,  user  charges,  or other sources and deposited into the
      income offset account, and (b) any  other  undisbursed  balance  of  the

      fiscal year as reduced pursuant to subparagraph six of  paragraph  c  of
      subdivision  four  of  section three hundred fifty-five of the education
      law to reflect any aggregate amount established by the director  of  the
      budget   less  than  the  amount  appropriated.  Such  moneys  shall  be
      transferred by the state comptroller into the stabilization  account  on
      or  before  September  fifteenth  within  thirty  days  of such date. In
      addition, all or a portion  of  the  account  balances  in  other  state
      university  income  accounts,  except  the dormitory income reimbursable
      account, shall be transferred by the state comptroller, at  the  request
      of the state university, to the stabilization account.
        3.  Moneys  of  the  account  shall  only  be  available  to the state
      university of New York and following appropriation by  the  legislature,
      shall  be  credited  to  the  state  operated institutions, statutory or
      contract colleges, hospitals and/or system administration  stabilization
      subaccounts  from  which  the  savings  were  achieved.  Notwithstanding
      section forty of this chapter, section three hundred fifty-five  of  the
      education  law or any other law to the contrary, all appropriations made
      from this account to the state university of New York  shall  remain  in
      full  force  and  effect  for two years from July first of the effective
      year of the chapter in which the appropriations were made. Moneys  shall
      be  paid  out  of  the  account  on  the  audit and warrant of the state
      comptroller on vouchers certified or approved by the chancellor  of  the
      state university of New York or his or her designee.
