Bill > A10000

This bill, titled "Makes appropriations for the support of government - State Operations Budget," outlines the financial support for various state agencies for the fiscal year beginning April 1, 2026. It details specific appropriations for state operations, including personal services, supplies, contractual services, and equipment, across numerous agencies such as the Department of Health, Department of Taxation and Finance, and the State University of New York. The bill also includes provisions for reappropriating unexpended balances from prior years' appropriations and allows for flexibility in allocating federal grants. A key provision authorizes the Director of the Budget to withhold appropriated funds if a general fund imbalance is projected or occurs in fiscal year 2026-27, with specific exemptions for public assistance, debt service, and court-ordered payments. The bill also establishes a framework for legislative review of any proposed withholdings, giving the legislature ten business days to adopt its own plan to address the imbalance.
