BILL NUMBER:S1410A

Title of bill

An act to amend the executive law and the state finance law, in relation to requiring reports by state agencies relating to certain grants and expenditures made to community based organizations

Purpose

To require an annual report from the division of the budget that relates to the distribution of funds and grants to community-based organizations that would create greater transparency and accountability by the department.

Summary of provisions

The bill amends the executive law so that the division of the budget will be required to submit a report to the legislature by September first of each year relating to the distribution of funds and grants to community based organizations. The report will provide a listing of recipients, organized by zip code, of grants, awards or funds appropriated for services end programs that are made to organizations which provide services on a local basis. Additionally, the report must be posted on the division of the budget website in a manner which is clear and accessible to the public.

Justification

This legislation would create transparency in departmental spending by providing citizens knowledge of how the government is spending its budget and where the money is going to. The additional report that the division of the budget is required to submit would allow citizens to track the allocation of funds to community based organizations, which localities the funds are going to, and the type of services and programs that are being supported.

Concerns raised by Governor Cuomo in his veto of Senate Bill 372 in 2011, including the reporting procedures of the Statewide Financial System (SFS), are addressed in this new version of the bill.

Legislative history

First introduced in 2010. A previous version of the bill (S.372) was vetoed in 2011. 2011-2012: S.6356 passed Senate.

Fiscal implications

None.

Effective date

This act shall take effect immediately.
