1.

Beginning in March, nineteen hundred eighty-two and annually thereafter, each city, village, and town shall receive from moneys appropriated by the state in support of activities related to the administration and enforcement in the previous calendar year of fire prevention and building codes the sum of the amounts computed in paragraphs a and b below.

a.

One-half the amount appropriated multiplied by the proportion which the population of the city, village or town outside a village bears to the population of the state taken as a whole.

b.

One-half the amount appropriated multiplied by the proportion which the full value of the city, village or town outside a village bears to the full value of the state taken as a whole. The amount otherwise payable to a local government under this subdivision shall be reduced by the amount of state aid to local governments for housing maintenance code enforcement payable to such local government in the same state fiscal year under the provisions of § 54-H (State aid to local governments for housing maintenance code enforcement)section fifty-four-h of this chapter.

2.

In the instance where, pursuant to section three hundred eighty-one of the New York state uniform fire prevention and building code act set forth in article eighteen of the executive law, a county or the secretary of state administers and enforces the New York state uniform fire prevention and building code within a city, village or town, the funds otherwise payable to the city, village, or town shall be paid to the county or revert to the state, as the case may be. Where a county or the secretary of state has been so engaged for less than the entire calendar year provided in subdivision one, the moneys shall be distributed to the city, village, or town, county or state in proportion to the length of time for which each was responsible for said administration and enforcement.

3.
