Title of bill
An act to amend chapter 53 of the laws of 2008 making appropriations for the support of government
Purpose
This deficiency appropriation bill amends Chapter 53 of the Laws of 2008 which made appropriations for the 2008-09 fiscal year, to meet essential obligations for which funding was not provided in the enacted budget.
Summary of provisions
Section 1 amends the 2008-09 Education, Labor and Family Assistance Budget as follows:
Department of labor
The recommended deficiency for the Unemployment Insurance (UI) Benefit program increases the UI Benefit-Enterprise appropriation by $2 billion to accommodate significant increased program spending resulting from the economic downturn and from Federal legislation which has been enacted granting an additional 33 weeks of UI benefit eligibility for claimants who have exhausted the normal 26 week benefit period. This additional $2 billion appropriation into the $3 billion UI Benefit-Enterprise fund is supported by taxes on employers and Federal funds, and has no impact on the financial plan.
Section 2 provides that the bill shall take effect immediately and be deemed to have been in full force and effect on and after April 1, 2008.
Existing law
This is a new bill.
Statement in support
Enactment of this deficiency appropriation bill is necessary to provide funding for liabilities occurring in the 2008-09 fiscal year for which no appropriations currently exist.
Budget implications
This bill is accommodated in the current Financial Plan for 2008-09.
