Bill > A07515

This bill provides for emergency appropriations to support New York state government operations for the brief period from April 1 to April 3, 2025, ensuring that state agencies can continue functioning while awaiting the full budget for the fiscal year. The bill appropriates funds for several key areas, including $279,930,000 for personal service payments to state employees, $10,000,000 for non-personal service operations, and $20,650,000 for general state charges like social security contributions. The legislation also includes significant appropriations for the medical assistance program, allocating over $1.1 billion for various healthcare services, including hospital, nursing home, managed care, and pharmacy services. Additionally, the bill provides $165 million for unemployment insurance benefits and $94,917,000 for adult mental health services. The bill requires the director of the budget to approve expenditures and allows for transfers between appropriations, and it is designed to ensure government continuity until the full annual budget is passed. The appropriations will automatically be transferred to the corresponding permanent budget lines once the full budget is enacted, and the bill itself will be deemed repealed at that point.
