Bill > A08282

This bill provides an emergency appropriation to support New York state government operations through May 9, 2025, extending government funding by two additional days beyond a previous appropriation. The bill makes several key adjustments to existing appropriations across multiple state departments, including modest increases in funding for various programs. Key provisions include additional funding for the Department of Health's Medical Assistance Program, increased appropriations for unemployment insurance benefits, and adjustments to funding for the Office for People with Developmental Disabilities. The bill 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 appropriations are temporary and will be transferred to permanent appropriations once the regular state budget for the fiscal year beginning April 1, 2025, is passed. The bill is designed to ensure continuous government operations and maintain funding for critical state services during a potential budget transition period, with all appropriations set to be automatically repealed once the final budget is enacted.
