herein may not be used to reimburse local-
ities for costs disallowed under title

S 21. No expenditure may be made from any appropriation in this act,
until a certificate of approval has been issued by the director of the
budget and a copy of such certificate shall have been filed with the
state comptroller, the chairman of the senate finance committee and the
chairman of the assembly ways and means committee provided, however,
that any expenditures from any appropriation in this act made by the
legislature or judiciary shall not require such certificate.
S 22. All expenditures and disbursements made against the appropri-
ations in this act shall, upon final action by the legislature on appro-
priation bills submitted by the governor pursuant to article VII of the
state constitution for the support of government for the state fiscal
year beginning April 1, 2010, be transferred by the comptroller as
expenditures and disbursements to such appropriations for all state
departments, agencies, the legislature and the judiciary, as applicable,
in amounts equal to the amounts charged against the appropriations in
this act for each such department, agency, the legislature and the judi-
ciary.
S 23. Severability clause. If any clause, sentence, paragraph, subdi-
vision, section or part of this act shall be adjudged by any court of
competent jurisdiction to be invalid, such judgment shall not affect,
impair, or invalidate the remainder thereof, but shall be confined in
its operation to the clause, sentence, paragraph, subdivision, section
or part thereof directly involved in the controversy in which such judg-
ment shall have been rendered. It is hereby declared to be the intent of
the legislature that this act would have been enacted even if such
invalid provisions had not been included herein.
S 24. This act shall take effect immediately and shall be deemed to
have been in full force and effect on and after April 1, 2010; provided,
however, that upon the transfer of expenditures and disbursements by the
comptroller as provided in section twenty-two of this act, the appropri-
ations made by this act and subject to such section shall be deemed
repealed.
