BILL NUMBER:S6615 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the soil and water conservation districts law, in relation to increasing the reimbursement cap PURPOSE: This legislation would raise the cap that New York State reimburses to Soil and Water Conservation Districts from $30,000 to $60,000. SUMMARY: Section 1 amends section 11-a of the soil and water conservation districts law to increase the reimbursement cap from $30,000 to $60,000. Section 2 provides the enacting clause. JUSTIFICATION: In 1974, New York State enacted legislation to reimburse Soil and Water Conservation Districts at a 50% rate for performing functions for New York State agencies. The reimbursement at that time was $4,000 per Soil and Water Conservation District. This amount was increased to $10,000 in 1981. The reimbursement remained at this level until April of 1996 when it was raised to $30,000. Due to inflation and increased costs of doing business $30,000 is no longer
