AN ACT to amend the public health law, in relation to reimbursement  for
  aerial spraying for mosquitoes on state land

  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. Section 621 of the public health law, as amended by section
5 of part A of chapter 58 of the laws of 2008, is  amended  to  read  as
follows:
  S 621. State aid; public health emergencies. If the state commissioner
or  a  county  health  department or part-county department of health or
municipality, with the approval of the  state  commissioner,  determines
that  there is an imminent threat to public health, the department shall
reimburse counties or municipalities at fifty per centum for the cost of
emergency measures as approved by the  department  and  subject  to  the
approval  of the director of the budget, EXCEPT THAT AERIAL SPRAYING FOR
MOSQUITOES ON STATE LAND SHALL BE REIMBURSED AT ONE HUNDRED PER  CENTUM,
WITHIN  AMOUNTS  APPROPRIATED.   Such funds shall be made available from
funds appropriated for public health emergencies, only to those counties
or municipalities, which have expended all other state aid which may  be
available   for  related  activities  and  have  developed  measures  to
adequately address the  emergency.  Reimbursement  is  conditioned  upon
availability of appropriated funds. For purposes of this section, "muni-
cipality"  means  a health department of a city that is not located in a
county or part-county health district or a county in which the  legisla-
ture has the powers and duties of a board of health of a county or part-
county  health district and cities with a population of over one million
persons.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.


 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
