BILL NUMBER:A10354
Title of bill
An act to amend the legislative law and the executive law, in relation to the forfeiture of salary by members of the legisla- ture, the governor, the lieutenant governor, and the comptroller upon failure to enact a state budget by April first
Purpose or general idea of bill
To provide an incentive for passing the state budget by the April 1 deadline.
Summary of specific provisions
Provides a financial penalty on members of the state legislature and the governor for failure to enact a timely state budget. Each member of the State Senate and Assembly, as well as the Governor will pay a penalty equivalent to one day's salary for each day the budget is not enacted after the April 1 deadline, until the last, of the budget bills is passed by the legislature.
Effects of present law which this bill would alter
The emergency extender legislation passed in order to pay state employees after fail- ure to enact a state budget within the April 1 deadline, will not include members of the legislature and the governor.
Justification
In the past nineteen years the state legislature and the governor have failed to pass the state budget by the April 1 deadline. The Executive Budget is proposed in January allowing sufficient time for members to reach agreement by April 1. Failure to meet this deadline is costly to New York State and localities, and should result in a finan- cial penalty for legislative members and the governor.
