Bill > S03000

This bill makes appropriations for the support of New York State government's state operations for the fiscal year 2025-26. Key provisions include: This bill authorizes state government agencies to spend specific amounts of money for their operational expenses, with several important provisions governing how those funds can be used. The bill allows for transfers and interchanges between appropriations with budget director approval, permits funds to be used for expenses already incurred, and includes specific guidelines for handling potential budget imbalances. For example, if a general fund imbalance of $2 billion or more is projected, the budget director can withhold appropriated funds, with certain exemptions like public assistance payments and debt service. The bill also defines terms like "estimated general fund receipts" and "estimated general fund disbursements" and establishes a process for the legislature to potentially develop an alternative fund withholding plan. Additionally, the bill provides detailed appropriations for various state agencies like the Adirondack Park Agency, Office for the Aging, Department of Agriculture and Markets, and many others, specifying exact amounts for different operational categories like personal services, supplies, travel, and contractual services.
