Bill > A08015

This bill provides for an emergency appropriation to support government operations through April 24, 2025, extending previous appropriations by one day. The bill makes several key adjustments to existing appropriations across various state departments and agencies, including increases in funding for unemployment insurance benefits (from $660 million to $750 million), additional support for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, and modest increases in funding for services related to people with developmental disabilities, veterans' services, and other programs. The legislation allows the comptroller to make payments for government operations until the full appropriation bills for the fiscal year are enacted, ensuring continuity of government services. The bill includes provisions for transferring expenditures to final appropriations once the full budget is passed, and contains standard severability and effective date clauses to ensure the legislation can be implemented smoothly. It is designed to provide temporary funding authority and make minor adjustments to existing appropriations while the full state budget is being finalized.
