Bill > S00069

This bill proposes amendments to Article 7 of the New York State Constitution regarding items of appropriation. The key provisions are: 1. The governor must submit a bill or bills containing all proposed appropriations and reappropriations, which must be consistent with and constrained by existing state law, except for monetary amounts. 2. The governor must submit any proposed legislation in separate, non-appropriation bills, distinct from the appropriation bills. 3. Appropriation bills can only contain items of appropriation and descriptions thereof, which must relate specifically to the appropriation, identify the object or purpose, and not include conditions, rules, or requirements of the program or modify existing law (except as proposed in separate non-appropriation bills). 4. The proposed amendment must be referred to the next regular legislative session and published for 3 months before the next general election of the assembly.
