             CONCURRENT RESOLUTION OF THE SENATE AND ASSEMBLY
 
 proposing an amendment to article 9 of the constitution, in relation  to
   acts of the legislature having fiscal impact on local governments
 
   Section  1.  Resolved  (if  the  Senate concur), That article 9 of the
 constitution be amended by adding a new section 4 to read as follows:
   § 4. THE LEGISLATURE SHALL PROVIDE STATE FUNDING TO REIMBURSE  CITIES,
 COUNTIES,  TOWNS, AND/OR VILLAGES FOR THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH EXPENDI-
 TURES MADE AS A REQUIREMENT FOR ANY LAW, GENERAL OR  SPECIAL,  EFFECTIVE
 THE  FIRST  DAY  OF JANUARY SUCCEEDING THE APPROVAL OF THE VOTERS, WHICH
 MANDATES THE UNDERTAKING OF A NEW PROGRAM  OR  INCREASES  THE  LEVEL  OF
 SERVICE  OF AN EXISTING PROGRAM BY A CITY, COUNTY, TOWN, OR VILLAGE. THE
 LEGISLATURE SHALL ESTABLISH PROCEDURES FOR THE ALLOCATION OF FUNDS AMONG
 THE CITIES, COUNTIES, TOWNS, AND/OR VILLAGES.
   THIS REQUIREMENT SHALL NOT APPLY WHERE FEDERAL REIMBURSEMENT OR MATCH-
 ING FUNDS ARE AVAILABLE AND SUCH PROVISION WOULD  DISQUALIFY  A  MUNICI-
 PALITY, OR IMPAIR A MUNICIPALITY'S ABILITY, TO PARTICIPATE IN OR RECEIVE
 SUCH  FEDERAL FUNDS. THE LEGISLATURE SHALL, IN ITS DISCRETION, DETERMINE
 IF STATE FUNDING SHALL BE PROVIDED  FOR  THE  SUPPORT  OF  SUCH  FEDERAL
 PROGRAMS PROVIDED BY A MUNICIPALITY.
   §  2. Resolved (if the Senate concur), That the foregoing amendment be
 referred to the first regular legislative session  convening  after  the
 next  succeeding  general  election  of members of the assembly, and, in
 conformity with  section  1  of  article  19  of  the  constitution,  be
 published for three months previous to the time of such election.
 
 
  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.
