Bill > S07070

This bill provides an emergency appropriation to support New York state government operations for the period of April 1-3, 2025, ensuring continued funding while permanent appropriations are being finalized. The bill includes specific allocations for various state departments and programs, with the largest appropriation of $1,111,204,000 going to the Department of Health's Medical Assistance Program, which covers Medicaid services. Key provisions include funding for state employee salaries, general state charges like social security contributions, unemployment insurance benefits, mental health services, and veterans' services. The bill allows the comptroller to transfer these temporary appropriations to permanent appropriations once the full state budget is approved. Importantly, the legislation requires that no expenditures can be made until the director of the budget issues a certificate of approval, with exceptions for legislative and judicial expenditures. The bill is designed to ensure continuous government operations and service delivery during the brief transition period between fiscal years, with all appropriations set to be automatically repealed once permanent budget appropriations are transferred.
