BILL NUMBER:S6615
Title of bill
An act to amend the soil and water conservation districts law, in relation to increasing the reimbursement cap
Purpose
This legislation would raise the cap that New York State reimburses to Soil and Water Conservation Districts from $30,000 to $60,000.
Summary
Section 1 amends section 11-a of the soil and water conservation districts law to increase the reimbursement cap from $30,000 to $60,000.
Section 2 provides the enacting clause.
Justification
In 1974, New York State enacted legislation to reimburse Soil and Water Conservation Districts at a 50% rate for performing functions for New York State agencies. The reimbursement at that time was $4,000 per Soil and Water Conservation District. This amount was increased to $10,000 in 1981. The reimbursement remained at this level until April of 1996 when it was raised to $30,000. Due to inflation and increased costs of doing business $30,000 is no longer a realistic figure and does not allow Soil and Water Conservation Districts to fulfill their statutory and regulatory mission.
