BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Subdivision 8 of section 239-bb of the general municipal
law, as amended by chapter 717 of the laws of 2022, is amended to read
as follows:
8. For each county, new shared services actions in 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 matching 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 thir-
ty-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 subse-
quent year from new actions implemented July first of the year imme-
diately following an approved plan through June thirtieth of the subse-
quent year may be eligible for matching funding. SAVINGS ACHIEVED FOR
ACTIONS BETWEEN LOCAL GOVERNMENTS THAT ARE LATER INCLUDED AS A PART OF
AN APPROVED PLAN TRANSMITTED TO THE SECRETARY OF STATE SHALL BE ELIGIBLE
FOR MATCHING FUNDING. Only net savings between local governments for
each action would be eligible for matching funding. Savings from inter-
nal 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
