A07001 Memo:

NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY
MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION
submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)
 
BILL NUMBER: A7001
 
SPONSOR: Hawley
  TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the executive law, in relation to payment of the gover- nor's salary   PURPOSE: This bill would require the Governor's salary to be withheld and not paid until legislative passage of the state budget is complete if the passage does not occur prior to the first day of any fiscal year.   SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1: Creates a new section 13 of the Executive Law to withhold the Governor's salary until the state budget is complete if passage does not occur prior to the first day of the fiscal year, requires the unpaid amount to be promptly paid upon passage, and includes definitions for "net payment" and "legislative passage of the budget". Section 2: establishes the effective date.   JUSTIFICATION: Currently, New York State Law withholds the payment of Legislators' salary when the state budget is not passed before the first day of the fiscal year (April 1st). This serves as added incentive for members of the Legislature to ensure that the citizens of New York State have a timely budget. This bill would create parity between the Legislative and Executive branch and ensures that the Governor has equal incentive to negotiate in good faith and pass a timely budget.   LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: New bill.   FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS: None.   EFFECTIVE DATE: Effective immediately.

        AN ACT to amend the executive law, in relation to payment of the  gover-

     3    §  13.  Compensation  of the governor. 1. Effective January first, two
     4  thousand twenty-four, the governor of the state of New York  shall  have
     5  the net payment of his or her salary, as provided in article four of the
     6  state  constitution  and fixed by the legislature, withheld and not paid
     7  until legislative passage of the budget is complete, if the  legislative
     8  passage  of  the  budget, as defined in subdivision two of this section,
     9  has not occurred prior to the first day of any fiscal  year.  An  amount
    10  equal  to the accrued, withheld and unpaid amount shall be promptly paid
    11  to the governor upon passage of the legislative budget.
    12    2. For the purposes of this section:
    13    (a) "net payment" shall mean gross salary minus  any  or  all  of  the
    14  following deductions: federal taxes, state taxes, social security taxes,
    15  city  taxes,  payments  on  retirement  loans, retirement contributions,
    16  contributions to health insurance or  other  group  insurance  programs,
    17  child support and court ordered payments; and

    20  of article seven of the state constitution have been finally acted on by
    21  both  houses  of the legislature in accordance with article seven of the
    22  state constitution and the state comptroller has  determined  that  such
    23  appropriation  bill  or  bills  that  have  been finally acted on by the
    24  legislature are sufficient for the  ongoing  operation  and  support  of
    25  state government and local assistance for the ensuing fiscal year.
