Bill > A03772

This bill appropriates $400 million from the state's general fund to the New York State Office for the Aging to support its various programs and services. The funding is immediately available and will be disbursed through a standard government financial process, where the state comptroller will audit and issue payments based on vouchers certified by the director of the state office for the aging. The bill specifies that not the entire $400 million must be spent, but up to that amount can be used as necessary for the office's operations. The appropriation is set to take effect on April 1, 2025, which suggests this is part of the state's budget planning for the upcoming fiscal year. The bill aims to provide significant financial resources to support services and programs that benefit older New York state residents, though the specific details of how these funds will be used are not outlined in the bill text itself.
