GALEF, PEOPLES-STOKES, MAGEE, CORWIN, McDONALD, FAHY, GIGLIO -- Multi-Sponsored by -- M. of A. BARCLAY, BUTLER, CROUCH, CURRAN, DUPREY, ENGLEBRIGHT, GOODELL, HAWLEY, KOLB, LOPEZ, RAIA, SCHIMMINGER, TEDISCO, THIELE -- read once and referred to the Committee on Governmental Operations AN ACT to amend the legislative law, in relation to restricting the imposition of unfunded mandates on political subdivisions of the state THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Legislative findings and intent. The legislature finds that state government imposes numerous program and service requirements on its local governments without fully considering the fiscal impacts of these requirements. Such unfunded mandates require local governments already experiencing considerable economic hardship to provide new or significantly expanded programs and services without the funding neces- sary to carry out those mandates. Because unfunded mandates aggravate the fiscal difficulty that some local governments are now experiencing, the state must consider the burdens of unfunded mandates before imposing additional such requirements on local governments. The legislature therefore declares that it is appropriate that state government provide funding for mandates it imposes on local governments. The legislature also finds that some mandates are critical to preserv- ing the health, safety and welfare of the people of the state. Because it is impractical to shift immediately to full state funding of all state mandates, and recognizing the need to curtail the transfer of program and service expenses from the state to local governments, the legislature declares its intent to restrict the imposition of additional unfunded mandates on local governments until such time as these mandates are fully funded by the state. S 2. The legislative law is amended by adding a new section 51-a to read as follows: EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
