BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS
(Executive Budget: pp. 65-71)
The Department of Labor is the lead agency for workforce development and
workplace issues. It is charged with the responsibility of administering state
and federal employment and training programs . The agency is also responsible
for the administration of the Unemployment Insurance Benefit Fund as well as
enforcing regulations that ensure the safety of workers in the workplace. There
are six major programs in the Department: Employment and Training; Employment
Relations Board; Labor Standards; Occupational Safety and Health; Unemployment
Insurance Benefit; and Administration. The Department's central office is
located in Albany and Employment Service offices are operational throughout the
State.
The agency is included in the Education, Labor and Family Assistance appropriation bill.
On an All Funds basis, the Executive recommends appropriations totaling
$3,460,839,300, which reflects a reduction of $91,752,900 or three percent from
the State Fiscal Year (SFY) 2000-01 funding level.
State Operations
The Executive recommends an All Funds appropriation of $3,119,275,400, a
$79,214,100 or 2.48 percent decline from the SFY 2000-01 level due primarily to
a decrease in Special Revenue Fund - Federal appropriations. The Federal
appropriations were increased in the SFY 2000-01 enacted State budget for InVest
and other local welfare-to-work programs to allow for increased participation by
local social service districts. The year-to-year decrease in appropriation
authority does not affect program levels.
In addition, the Executive recommends a $2,000,000 appropriation from the
Special Revenue Fund-Other Occupational Safety and Health Program Enforcement
Fee and Penalty Account for services and expenses of an electronic commerce
initiative to reduce employer paperwork and create a management database of
employer information related to worker protection activities and administration.
Further, the Executive recommends a $1,000,000 sweep from the Fee and Penalty
Account to the General Fund.
The Executive recommends appropriations totalling $2,301,400 for the Green Teams
Program, including $1,858,400 from the General Fund and $443,000 from Temporary
Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Surplus Funds. The Executive also
recommends a $12,954,300 appropriation from the Special Revenue Fund - Other
Unemployment Interest and Penalty Account for various programs, including
$5,188,600 for the Displaced Homemaker Program, of which $521,100 may be used
for administration. Special Revenue Fund - Other appropriations for the
occupational Safety and Health Program are increased by $1,858,500 to
$26,335,500.
The Executive also recommends the interchange of General Fund dollars from
Personal Service to Non-Personal Services to accommodate a fund transfer to the
Office for Technology for systems positions related to the data center
consolidation.
Aid to Localities
The Executive recommends All Funds appropriations of $341,563,900, a decrease of
$12,538,800 or four percent from SFY 2000-01 levels.
The Executive recommends a General Fund appropriation of $4,690,700 and an
appropriation of $4,268,00 from the TANF surplus for the Youth Education,
Employment and Training Program (YEETP) for a total appropriation of
$8,958,700, reflecting no change from SFY 2000-01 levels.
The Executive proposes no new funding for the Strategic Training Alliance
Program but reappropriates $34,000,000 which was contained in the SFY 2000-01
enacted State budget. The budget reflects appropriations for the Federal
Workforce Investment Act for the grant period through June 30, 2002 of
$332,360,200.
