Title of bill
An act to amend chapter 53 of the laws of 2008, enacting the education, labor and family assistance budget, making appropriations for the support of government
Purpose
This deficiency appropriation bill amends Chapter 53 of the Laws of 2008, enacting the education, labor and family assistance budget, 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:
STATE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT
The recommended deficiency for the Federal Medicaid Offset allows a decrease of $32.2 million in 2008-09 General Fund appropriation authority for School Supportive Health Services (SSHS) due to an unanticipated increase in the Medicaid offset for SSHS. The increased Medicaid revenue results in a decrease in General Fund Support for SSHS.
The recommended deficiency for the State Lottery Fund increases the 2008-09 Special Revenue Funds appropriation in the Aid to Localities account by $32.1 million, reflecting additional unanticipated Lottery revenues. Since Lottery revenues offset General Fund School Aid spending, this deficiency would also decrease the General Fund appropriation for General Support of Public Schools (GSPS) by the same $32.1 million.
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

Budget implications
