 AN ACT directing the state comptroller to act as a  fiscal  monitor  for
   the distribution and expenditure of federal funds received by any town
   through the CARES Act
 
   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. The state comptroller shall serve as a  fiscal  monitor  to
 provide  direct  oversight  of  any  monies allocated to any town by the
 United States department of treasury pursuant to the federal Coronavirus
 Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act of 2020  (P.L.  116-136).
 The  state  comptroller  shall  review  any  expenditures  proposed  and
 approved by any town pursuant to the CARES act; provided, however,  that
 CARES  Act monies received by any village, which were already subject to
 review by the state comptroller upon their allocation to a  town,  shall
 not  be subject to additional review by the state comptroller upon their
 allocation to a village from a town. No funds pursuant to the CARES  act
 may  be  expended  by  any  town without the approval of the state comp-
 troller, who shall determine the amount of monies a town shall  distrib-
 ute  to  each  of  its villages based upon such village's level of need,
 population, and other such factors as the state comptroller shall deter-
 mine in his  or  her  sole  discretion;  provided,  however,  that  this
 approval  requirement  shall  only  apply to funds that have not already
 been distributed to their final recipient as of the  effective  date  of
 this act. Funds received by such villages or towns pursuant to the CARES
 Act may only be used to cover costs that:
   1.  are necessary expenditures incurred due to the public health emer-
 gency related to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19);
   2. were not accounted for in the budget most recently approved  as  of
 March  27,  2020  (the date of enactment of the CARES act) for the state
 or local government; and
   3. were incurred during the period that begins on March  1,  2020  and
 ends on December 30, 2020.
