Bill > S07673

This bill provides an emergency appropriation to support New York state government operations through May 1, 2025, extending funding beyond the previously set April 29 deadline. The bill makes several key changes to existing appropriations, including increasing funding for various state departments and programs. Specifically, the bill adjusts appropriations for several key areas: increasing personal service payments for state employees from $1,336,630,000 to $1,631,630,000, raising unemployment insurance benefits from $855,000,000 to $945,000,000, and boosting funding for the Office for People with Developmental Disabilities' community services program. The legislation allows the state comptroller to make payments for government services until the regular appropriation bills for the fiscal year beginning April 1, 2025, are enacted. The bill includes provisions requiring director of budget approval for expenditures and stipulates that all expenses will ultimately be transferred to the final appropriations bills once they are passed. This emergency measure ensures continued government functioning and prevents potential service disruptions by providing temporary funding authority across multiple state agencies and programs.
