Bill > S00099

This bill requires the New York State Division of Budget to create and maintain a publicly accessible online database of all projects funded in the state budget, providing unprecedented transparency about state spending. The database must include specific details such as the dollar amount allocated to each project and the last name of the legislative member(s) who originally requested the funding. Additionally, the database will be required to disclose funds allocated to private organizations that are not otherwise legally mandated to reveal their funding sources. The database must be published on the Division of Budget's website and updated annually following the passage of the state budget. By mandating this level of detailed public disclosure, the bill aims to increase government spending transparency and provide citizens with more comprehensive information about how state funds are being allocated across various projects and initiatives.
