BILL NUMBER: S8887

SPONSOR: COONEY
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the general municipal law, in relation to streamlining
the county-wide shared services initiative

 
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:

This bill would streamline the County-Wide Shared Services Initiative by
making projects previously proposed, but not implemented, eligible for
state matching funds, and places time limits on the submission of appli-
cations after the implementation year concludes.

 
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:

Section one of this bill amends subdivision 8 of section 239-bb of
general municipal law by amending chapter 294 of the laws of 2021 to
allow previously proposed initiatives to be eligible for matching funds.

Section two of this bill sets the effective date.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

The County-Wide Shared Services Initiative (CWSSI) was enacted as part
of the SFY 2018 Enacted Budget to create a process for local governments
to develop new shared services actions that achieve taxpayer savings and
provide a onetime state match of the net savings. To be eligible for
state matching funds, the chief executive officer of each county outside
of New York City must annually convene a shared services panel and
develop a new property tax savings plan or revise and update a previous-
ly approved plan.

Currently, actions are eligible for state matching funds only if they
are implemented during the year immediately following the plan's
approval, which discourages the realization of shared services that were
previously proposed but not implemented. This legislation would create
an incentive for shared services panels to revisit shared services
proposals that were included in previous plans by making them eligible
for state matching funds. In addition, this legislation will allow
future projects to be eligible for state matching funds so long as they
are completed within two years of inclusion within a Plan.

 
PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

Part W, PPGG (S.8005-A/A.9005-A) 2022.

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

No impact to the state or local government as the SFY 23 Budget includes
appropriations in Aid to Localities to fund the County-Wide Shared
Services Initiative.

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately.

 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
 funding  in order to qualify for matching funding. ANY SUCH CONSOLIDATED
 
  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.

 S. 8887                             2
 
 APPLICATION SHALL BE SUBMITTED TO THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE IN  SUCH  FORM
 AND  MANNER AS DIRECTED BY THE DEPARTMENT NO LATER THAN DECEMBER THIRTY-
 FIRST OF THE SECOND CALENDAR YEAR  FOLLOWING  PLAN  ADOPTION;  PROVIDED,
 HOWEVER,  THAT  FOR  PLANS  ADOPTED  PRIOR TO CALENDAR YEAR TWO THOUSAND
 TWENTY, FOR WHICH NO APPLICATION FOR MATCHING FUNDING HAS  BEEN  SUBMIT-
 TED,  ONE CONSOLIDATED APPLICATION PER PLAN YEAR MAY BE SUBMITTED TO THE
 DEPARTMENT NO LATER THAN DECEMBER THIRTY-FIRST, TWO THOUSAND TWENTY-TWO.
   § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
