Title of bill
An act to amend the executive law, in relation to contracts for neighborhood crime prevention activities
Summary of bill
This bill would extend the current 5 year aggregate cap on local agency eligibility for funding under the Neighborhood Preservation Crime Prevention Act (NPCPA) to an aggregate of ten (10) years. Contracts between the Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) and local not-for-profit community groups would still be limited to 1 year and would be renewable at the discretion of the Commissioner of DCJS.
Justification
Currently, contracts under NPCPA are limited to one year in duration and are renewable by the Commissioner of DCJS, at his/her discretion, for up to an aggregate of four additional one-year periods. The unfortunate consequence of this arbitrary 5 year cap is that programs that are in place and working well face extinction after 5 years. This legislation would leave to the discretion of the Commissioner, who periodically evaluates said programs, the ability to provide continued funding to successful neighborhood crime prevention programs, for up to an additional 9 years.
Fiscal implications
Each contract is limited in amount to $60,000. The potential exists for an increased cost to the State in approving new programs while continuing to fund programs in place.
Effective date
This act shall take effect immediately.
