BILL NUMBER: S5742 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the legislative law, in relation to state spending for fiscal years 2010-2011, 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS : Section 1 freezes the amount of general fund State spending which can be authorized by the State Legislature for State fiscal years 2010-2011, 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 at 2009-2010 fiscal year amount. Section 2 establishes the effective date. JUSTIFICATION : Despite a historic economic recession, the 2009-2010 finalized State Budget contained an unsustainable amount of spending, including new income and numerous other onerous taxes for most New York State taxpayers. In addition, despite a public outcry for Medicaid reform, little was done to address this primary driver of escalating spending. This bill will ensure that spending is contained at current year levels for the 2010-2011, 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 fiscal years. This action will afford New York State taxpayers, who bear the financial burden of these increases, assurance that State government is committed to addressing this runaway spending.
