shall have delivered to the director of the budget and the comptroller a
letter certifying that there is in effect with respect to such negotiat-
ing unit a collective bargaining agreement which provides for such
compensation and benefit modifications and which is fully executed in
writing with the state pursuant to article 14 of the civil service law,
and ratified pursuant to the ratification procedure of the employee
organization certified pursuant to article 14 of the civil service law
to represent such collective negotiating unit.
§ 21. Date of entitlement to salary increase. Notwithstanding the
provisions of this act or of any other provision of law to the contrary,
the increase of salary or compensation of any member of the collective
negotiating unit consisting of investigators, senior investigators, and
investigative specialists in the division of state police provided by
this act shall be added to the salary of such member at the beginning of
that payroll period the first day of which is nearest to the effective
date of such increase as provided in this act, or at the beginning of
the earlier of two payroll periods the first days of which are nearest
but equally near to the effective date of such increase as provided in
this act; provided, however, that, for the purposes of determining the
salary of such officer or employee upon reclassification, reallocation,
appointment, promotion, transfer, demotion, reinstatement, or other
S. 8384 11
change of status, such salary increase shall be deemed to be effective
on the date thereof as prescribed by this act, with payment thereof
pursuant to this section on a date prior thereto, instead of on such
effective date, and shall not operate to confer any additional salary
rights or benefits on such officer or employee. Payment of such salary
increase may be deferred pursuant to section twenty-two of this act.
§ 22. Deferred payment of salary increase. Notwithstanding the
provisions of any other section of this act or of any other provision of
law to the contrary, pending payment pursuant to this act of the basic
annual salaries of incumbents of positions subject to this act, such
incumbents shall receive, as partial compensation for services rendered,
the rate of compensation otherwise payable in their respective posi-
tions. An incumbent holding a position subject to this act at any time
during the period from the effective dates of the salary increases
provided for in this act until the time when basic annual salaries are
first paid pursuant to this act for such services in excess of the
compensation actually received therefor, shall be entitled to a lump sum
payment for the difference between the salary to which such incumbent is
entitled for such service and the compensation actually received there-
for. Such lump sum payment shall be made as soon as practicable. Any
amount payable in such lump sum paid represents compensation earned in
each of the year or years for which it is calculated pursuant to this
act and not as compensation earned wholly in the year during which the
lump sum is paid. Notwithstanding any law, rule or regulation to the
contrary, no member of the unit consisting of investigators, senior
investigators, and investigative specialists in the division of state
police to whom the provisions of this act apply shall be entitled to, or
owed, any interest or other penalty for any reason on any monies due to
such member pursuant to the terms of the agreement covering employees in
the unit consisting of investigators, senior investigators, and investi-
gative specialists in the division of state police.
§ 23. Use of appropriations. Notwithstanding any provision of the
state finance law or any other provision of law to the contrary,
commencing April 1, 2025, the state comptroller is authorized to pay any
amounts required by the provisions of this act to any state department
or agency from any appropriation or other funds available to such state
department or agency for personal service, other than personal service
and fringe benefits. To the extent that such appropriations are insuffi-
cient in any fund to accomplish the purposes herein set forth, the
director of the budget is authorized to allocate to the various depart-
ments and agencies, from any appropriations available in any fund, the
amounts necessary to pay such amounts. The aforementioned appropriations
shall be available for payment of any liabilities or obligations
incurred during the period April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2026.
§ 24. Notwithstanding any provision of the state finance law or any
other provision of law to the contrary, the sum of $43,700,000 is hereby
appropriated in the general fund/state purposes account (10050) in
miscellaneous-all state departments and agencies solely for
apportionment/transfer by the director of the budget for use by any
state department or agency in any fund during the period April 1, 2023
through March 31, 2026 to supplement appropriations for personal
service, other than personal service and fringe benefits, and to carry
out the provisions of this act. No money shall be available for expendi-
ture from this appropriation until a certificate of approval has been
issued by the director of the budget and a copy of such certificate or
any amendment thereto has been filed with the state comptroller, the
S. 8384 12
chair of the senate finance committee and the chair of the assembly ways
and means committee. The monies hereby appropriated are available for
payment of any liabilities or obligations incurred during the period

appropriated shall remain in full force and effect for the payment of
liabilities incurred on or before March 31, 2026.

several amounts as hereinafter set forth, or so much thereof as may be
necessary, are hereby appropriated from the fund so designated for use
by any state department or agency during the period April 1, 2023
through March 31, 2026 to supplement appropriations from each respective
fund available for other than personal service and fringe benefits, and
to carry out the provisions of this act. The monies hereby appropriated
are available for the payment of any liabilities or obligations incurred
during the period April 1, 2023 through March 31, 2026. No money shall
be available for expenditure from the monies appropriated until a
