juvenile jurisdiction above fifteen years of age. Notwithstanding any
other provision of law to the contrary, counties and the city of New
York shall not be required to contribute a local share of eligible
expenditures that would not have been incurred absent the provisions of
[a] chapter FIFTY-NINE of the laws of two thousand seventeen that added
this section [unless the most recent budget adopted by a county that is
subject to the provisions of section three-c of the general municipal
law exceeded the tax levy limit prescribed in such section or the local
government is not subject to the provisions of section three-c of the
general municipal law; provided, however, that the state budget director
shall be authorized to waive any local share of expenditures associated
with a chapter of the laws of two thousand seventeen that increased the
age of juvenile jurisdiction above fifteen years of age, upon a showing
of financial hardship by a county or the city of New York upon applica-

evaluating an application for a financial hardship waiver, the budget
director shall consider the incremental cost to the locality related to
increasing the age of juvenile jurisdiction, changes in state or federal
aid payments, and other extraordinary costs, including the occurrence of
a disaster as defined in paragraph a of subdivision two of section twen-
