TITLE OF BILL:

An act
to amend the legislative law, the state finance law and the public
officers law, in relation to requiring disclosure of the manner in
which public funds have been expended for personnel or property by
the legislative and
executive branches of state government

PURPOSE:

This bill will require public disclosure of detailed reports of
expenditures by the Governor, the Legislature, and the State agencies.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

This bill requires the Secretary of the Senate and the Clerk of the
Assembly to make detailed reports on a quarterly basis of
expenditures incurred on behalf of the Senate and Assembly,
respectively. It also requires members of the Legislature having the
power to certify vouchers to the Temporary President of the Senate or
the Speaker of the Assembly to disclose on a quarterly basis the
names of the individuals for whom they had authority to sign vouchers
but who were not regularly or customarily assigned to a work location

under the control of the reporting individual.

This bill also requires state agencies to issue quarterly reports
concerning disbursements and the names, salaries, and work locations
of their employees and a statement concerning individuals who may
work at their offices, but are not on their payrolls. It also
requires any person on a state payroll who receives compensation from
one state entity, but regularly and customarily was assigned to a
work location under the control of another, to report to the
Comptroller his name, salary, work location, and the governmental
entity from which compensation or reimbursement was received.

All of this information will be made available to the public.

JUSTIFICATION:

The united States Congress by statute (2 use Section l04a) is required
to publish detailed reports of expenditures made on behalf of each
member, committee, or other entity. A similar system of disclosure on
the state level will make government more accountable to the people.
