Bill > S07797

This bill provides an emergency appropriation to support New York state government operations through May 9, 2025, extending the previous appropriation period by two additional days. The bill makes several key modifications to existing appropriations across various state departments, including adjustments to funding for the Department of Health's Medical Assistance Program, the Department of Labor's Unemployment Insurance Benefit Program, the Department of Mental Hygiene's Office for People with Developmental Disabilities, and the Department of Veterans' Services. Most of these adjustments involve slight increases to existing budget allocations. The bill requires that all expenditures be approved by the director of the budget and that once the legislature passes the full annual appropriation bills, these emergency appropriations will be transferred and then effectively repealed. The legislation is designed to ensure continuity of government operations and services during a transitional period, allowing state agencies to continue paying for personal services, non-personal services, and other essential expenses until the full fiscal year budget is enacted.
