added to read as follows:
  (c) A provision that THE MUNICIPALITY SHALL ASSIST  IN  IDENTIFYING  A
RESPONSIBLE  PARTY  BY  SEARCHING  LOCAL RECORDS, INCLUDING PROPERTY TAX

lished  under  section  ninety-seven-b  of  the  state  finance law, the
difference between the original state assistance payment and the  recal-
culated state share. Recalculation of the state share shall be done each
time a payment from a responsible party is received by the municipality;
