BILL NUMBER: S6260 SPONSOR: KRUEGER TITLE OF BILL: An act making appropriations for the support of government and to amend chapter 121 of the laws of 2023 relating to making appropriations for the support of government, in relation thereto, and providing for the repeal of such provisions upon expiration thereof PURPOSE: This bill provides appropriations to various State departments and agen- cies to permit certain payments due from April 1 to April 17, 2023, to be made absent enactment of the Budget appropriation bills submitted by the Governor for the State fiscal year beginning April 1, 2023. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1 authorizes the Comptroller to utilize the appropriations contained in this bill, which relate to the 2023-24 State fiscal year, absent enactment of the 2023-24 Budget.
Section 2 provides: $242.5 million in additional appropriation authority for personal service payments scheduled to be made to State officers and employees on the payrolls scheduled to be paid between April 1 through April 17, 2023. This appropriation also includes funding for payment of health care and mental hygiene bonuses to eligible State employees, and payment for services performed by mentally ill or developmentally disa- bled persons who are employed in State operated special employment, work for pay or sheltered workshop programs. Section 3 provides $8.7 million in additional appropriation authority for nonpersonal service payments by various State agencies. It is the intent of this section to provide sufficient authorization for agencies to enter into contracts, the terms of which may continue beyond the life of this appropriation and for which payments for liabilities incurred beyond April 17, 2023 would be made subject to additional future appro- priations. Section 4 provides $17.1 million in additional appropriation authority for existing capital projects contract costs approved prior to April 1, 2023 for all agencies. Section 5 provides $2.9 million in additional appropriation authority for existing capital projects contract costs approved after April 1, 2023 for all agencies. Section 6 provides additional appropriation authority of $481.3 million for payment of State employee and retiree fringe benefits and other fixed costs mandated by statute or collective bargaining agreement during the period April 1 to April 17, 2023. The appropriation amount includes the State's contribution to the New York State Health Insurance Program, Social Security payroll tax, Employee Benefit Funds, the Volun- tary Defined Contribution Plan, Workers' Compensation, and the Metropol- itan Commuter Transportation Mobility Tax. Section 7: * Provides $65 million in appropriation authority for personal service payments for the Judiciary. * Provides $16.7 million in additional appropriation authority for nonpersonal service in the Judiciary. * Provides $5 million in additional appropriation authority for aid to localities liabilities incurred by the Judiciary. * Continues $75 million in appropriation authority for various employee fringe benefit programs within the Judiciary. Section 8 provides $52 million in appropriation authority for Safety Net Assistance and $125 million in Family Assistance. These benefits payments are set in statute, though the timing of the actual payment is flexible. New appropriation is necessary due to restrictive language for reimbursement of program costs. Section 8 also provides $58 million in appropriation authority for the state Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program, which makes monthly cash payments to aged, blind, and disabled low-income New Yorkers, and by statute must be received by the first of the month. Section 9: * Continues $3.2 million to the Department of Health for the Center for Community Health Program. The funds are in support of the American Indi- an Health Care Program to provide payments to support pharmacy provid- ers. * Provides an additional $5.3 million to the Department of Health for the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Chil- dren Program. The funds are in support of daily draws that reimburse vendors for services provided. * Provides $9 million to the Department of Health for transfer to the health research incorporated for the AIDS drug assistance program, including payments to Ryan White centers. Section 10 provides $400 million in appropriation authority for the continuation of unemployment insurance benefits. Necessary due to daily new liabilities created by those filing unemployment insurance benefit claims. Section 11 provides $71.4 million in appropriation authority to the Department of Transportation for the payment of mass transit operating assistance. Section 12 provides $385,000 in appropriation authority for statutorily required payments to blind veterans. Section 13 prohibits expenditures from all appropriations until certif- icates of approval have been issued by the Director of the Budget and filed with certain State officers. Section 14 requires the Comptroller to transfer any expenditures made against these appropriations to the 2023-24 Budget appropriations after they have become law. Section 15, the severability clause, provides that if any part of this Act be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, such judgment would not invalidate the remainder of the Act. Section 16 provides that the bill takes effect immediately and is deemed to be in full force and effect on April 1, 2023, and, further, that the appropriations made in the bill will be deemed repealed upon the trans- fer of expenditures by the Comptroller pursuant to section 14 of the bill. STATEMENT IN SUPPORT: This bill will allow the State to make certain payments and incur certain liabilities during the period April 1 through April 17, 2023 on a timely basis, in the absence of an enacted budget for State fiscal year 2023-24. BUDGET IMPLICATIONS: Expenditures and disbursements made against these appropriations shall, upon final action by the Legislature on the appropriation bills submit- ted by the Governor for the support of government for the State fiscal year beginning April 1, 2023, be transferred by the Comptroller as expenditures and disbursements to such appropriations for State depart- ments and agencies. Accordingly, this bill will have no additional impact on the State's 2023-24 Financial Plan.
