Bill > A06963

This bill requires the New York State Comptroller to examine and audit all contracts and funds related to humanitarian aid for migrants in New York City, specifically focusing on short-term shelter services for migrants who entered shelters on or after April 1, 2022. The legislation acknowledges the ongoing migrant crisis in New York and aims to provide oversight on how funds are being distributed. The Comptroller is mandated to thoroughly review not only the financial expenditures but also the associated contracts for humanitarian emergency response centers, public assistance benefits, and other migrant support services. After completing a comprehensive audit, the Comptroller must prepare a detailed report for the legislature, identifying the proportionality of distributions and presenting findings before the annual legislative session begins. This bill is designed to ensure transparency and accountability in the allocation of funds and services for migrant support in New York City.
