 AN ACT to amend the general municipal law, in relation  to  streamlining
   the county-wide shared services initiative
 
   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

   Section 1. Subdivision 8 of section 239-bb of  the  general  municipal
 law,  as  amended by chapter 294 of the laws of 2021, is amended to read
 as follows:
   8. For each county, new shared services actions [not included]  in  [a
 previously]  AN  approved and submitted plan pursuant to this section or
 part BBB of chapter fifty-nine of the laws of  two  thousand  seventeen,
 may  be  eligible for funding to match savings from such action, subject
 to available appropriation. Savings that are actually  and  demonstrably
 realized  by the participating local governments are eligible for match-
 ing funding. For actions that are part of an approved  plan  transmitted
 to  the secretary of state in accordance with paragraph b of subdivision
 seven of this section, savings achieved during either: (i) January first
 through December thirty-first from new actions implemented on  or  after
 January  first  through  December  thirty-first  of the year immediately
 following an approved and transmitted plan, or (ii) July  first  of  the
 year immediately following an approved and transmitted plan through June
 thirtieth of the subsequent year from new actions implemented July first
 of  the year immediately following an approved plan through June thirti-
 eth of the subsequent year may be eligible for  matching  funding.  Only
 net  savings between local governments for each action would be eligible
 for matching funding. Savings from internal efficiencies  or  any  other
 action  taken by a local government without the participation of another
 local government are not eligible for matching funding. Each county  and
 all  of  the  local  governments  within the county that are part of any
 action to be implemented as part of an approved plan  must  collectively
 apply  for  the matching funding BY SUBMITTING ONE CONSOLIDATED APPLICA-
 TION PER PLAN, and agree on the distribution and  use  of  any  matching
