A09550 Memo:

NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY
MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION
submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)
 
BILL NUMBER: A9550
 
SPONSOR: Oaks
  TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the legislative law and the state finance law, in relation to sufficiency of itemization in budget bills   PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: To set parameters for the content of budget bills, ensuring that budget negotiations are focused on financial, not policy issues   SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1. The legislative law is amended by adding a new section 53-a which would require budget bills be sufficiently itemized by setting forth, with particularity, the section of the corresponding appropri- ation Section 2. The opening paragraph of subdivision 1 of section 24 of the state finance law, as amended by chapter 1 of the laws of 2007, is amended to require budget bills clearly reference the section in the accompanying bill or bills where the corresponding appropriation or re-appropriation can be located   JUSTIFICATION: Negotiating the $150 Billion state budget is an extremely complex proc- ess. The Governor and both houses of the Legislature must come together to determine how much money there is to spend, allocating funding increases or cuts to a broad range of programs based on different prior- ities, and making difficult decisions relating to taxes, debt and borrowing. Further complicating the budget process are the various policy initi- atives that are included in the budget, despite having little direct fiscal impact in the current year. In recent years, the major areas of budget debate were not financial, they were significant policy changes that would have been more suited for debate as separate bills. The goal of this legislation is to exclude major policy debate from the budget.   PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: New Bill   FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS: None   EFFECTIVE DATE: Immediately

          relation to sufficiency of itemization in budget bills
 
          The  People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:

     1    Section 1. The legislative law is amended by adding a new section 53-a
     2  to read as follows:
     3    § 53-a. Budget item identification and limitation.  All  budget  bills
     4  submitted  by the governor pursuant to section three of article seven of
     5  the constitution, containing proposed legislation, shall clearly identi-
     6  fy a corresponding appropriation within the budget  appropriation  bills
     7  submitted  by  the  governor for that fiscal year. The legislature shall
     8  not act upon budget bills, pursuant to section three of article seven of
     9  the constitution submitted by the governor, unless such bills have  been
    10  sufficiently  itemized by setting forth, with particularity, the section
    11  of the corresponding  appropriation.  Provided,  however,  this  section
    12  shall not apply to proposed legislation that amends the tax law.
    13    § 2. The opening paragraph of subdivision 1 of section 24 of the state
    14  finance  law, as amended by chapter 1 of the laws of 2007, is amended to
    15  read as follows:
    16    The budget submitted annually by the governor shall be  simultaneously
    17  accompanied by a bill or bills for all proposed appropriations and reap-
    18  propriations  and  for the proposed measures of taxation or other legis-
    19  lation, if any, recommended therein. Such bills shall  be  submitted  by
    20  the governor and shall be known as budget bills. Such budget bills shall
    21  clearly  reference  the  section in the accompanying bill or bills where
    22  the corresponding appropriation or reappropriation can be located.
    23    § 3. This act shall take effect immediately.
