Senate Budget Response Plan

2018-2019 New York State Budget WHEREAS, It is the intent of the Legislature to effectuate the timely passage of a State Budget; and WHEREAS, It is the intent of the Legislature to engage in the Budget Conference Committee process, which promotes increased participation by the members of the Legislature and the public; and WHEREAS, The Senate Finance Committee has conducted an extensive study and review of the Governor's 2018-2019 Executive Budget submission and has recommended proposed amendments to such Budget submission in the above referenced Legislative Bills and Report on the Executive Budget; and WHEREAS, Article VII of the New York State Constitution provides the framework under which the New York State Budget is submitted, amended and enacted. The New York State Courts have limited the Legislature in how it may change the appropriations bills submitted by the Governor. The Legislature can delete or reduce items of appropriation contained in the several appropriation bills submitted by the Governor in conjunction with the Executive Budget, and it can add additional items of appropriation to those bills provided that such additions are stated separately and distinctly from the original items of the bill and refer each to a single object or purpose; and WHEREAS, An extensive study and review of the Governor's 2018-2019 Executive Budget submission has revealed that the construction of the budget bills submitted to the Legislature by the Governor constrains the Legislature in its ability to fully effectuate its intent in amending the Governor's budget submission; and WHEREAS, The 2018-2019 Executive Budget includes funds for new programs throughout various agencies which are direct aid and grant programs, have been drafted as lump sum appropriations and are proposed to be distributed at the sole discretion of the Executive. In addition, some of these proposed initiatives related to capital plans have no corresponding plan details, which is imperative for proper consideration of these proposals. New capital spending, distributed through regional economic development councils, is also included in the Executive proposal; and WHEREAS, The Legislature has amended the Governor's 2018-2019 Executive Budget submission to the fullest extent possible within the authority provided to it pursuant to Section 4 of Article VII of the New York State Constitution; and WHEREAS, The Senate, in addition to the Governor's 2018-2019 Executive Budget submission bills as amended by the Senate in the above referenced legislative bills, does hereby provide its recommendations as to provisions in the Governor's 2018-2019 Executive Budget submission which reflect those items the Senate is constrained from effectuating as amendments to the 2018-2019 Executive Budget appended hereto; and WHEREAS, It is the intent of the Legislature that upon the passage of the Governor's 2018-2019 Executive Budget submission as amended by the Senate, and the incorporated Report on the Amended Executive Budget may provide a basis for both houses of the Legislature to convene Committees on Conference pursuant to Joint Rule III of the Senate and Assembly for the purpose of reconciling any differences between the amendments to the Governor's budget as proposed by each house of the Legislature; now, therefore, be it RESOLVED, That, the above referenced legislative bills (S7500B, S7503B, S7504B, S7505B, S7506A, S7507B, S7508B and S7509B) be and are incorporated as part of this resolution and are hereby adopted as the New York State Legislature's budget proposal for the 2018-2019 New York State Budget. REPORT ON THE AMENDED EXECUTIVE BUDGET ALL STATE AGENCIES AND OPERATIONS The Senate denies with prejudice the following new language contained within the body of various appropriations and Article VII language: * Language that would give the Executive unlimited transfer authority within the State Operations Budget. This is in addition to the transfer language already included in the State Operations Budget, and in the Division of the Budget (DOB) and affects most agencies. * Language that would prevent certain appropriations from becoming effective contingent upon the Legislature enacting other appropriations. * Language allowing the Executive to uniformly reduce funding for any programs if projected federal revenues to support Medicaid are not realized in fiscal years 2018-19 and 2019-20. * Language allowing the Executive to uniformly reduce funding for any programs if projected federal revenues to support Non-Medicaid programs are not realized in fiscal years 2018-19 and 2019-20. * Language allowing the Executive to uniformly reduce funding for local assistance programs if revenues projected to support those specific local assistance programs are not realized throughout the fiscal year. The Senate has stricken this language from the appropriation bills because such language constitutes an impermissible and unconstitutional over-reach by the Executive, infringing upon the independent role of the Legislature. This objectionable language constitutes a direct violation of the fundamental principles governing the separation of powers and goes beyond any actions sanctioned by the Court of Appeals in Silver v. Pataki. The Senate has also denied Article VII language allowing similar unlimited funding reductions.

Good Government and Ethics Reform Article VII Proposal (S.7510) The Senate will consider modifications to the Executive Article VII entitled "Good Government and Ethics Reform." The Senate and Assembly have already acted to amend the Constitution to strip a corrupt public official convicted of a felony of his or her pension. Voters approved this measure in November. The Senate is open to discussing proposals that increase access to voting while ensuring proper compliance with the election law. The Senate believes any voter reform proposal must include adequate funding for counties. In addition, the Senate and Assembly have already acted to require any member of the Legislature earning more than $5,000 income through outside employment to submit a written request for an advisory opinion to the Legislative Ethics Commission to ensure the employment is consistent with the Public Officers Law. The Senate remains opposed to taxpayer funded campaigns and does not believe that a full-time professional legislature best represents the State. The Senate is open to discussing proposals that increase access to voting while ensuring proper compliance with the election law. The Senate believes any voter reform proposal must include adequate funding for counties. Further, the Senate denies the Executive proposal to subject the legislature and the legislative ethics commission to the same freedom of information law provisions to which Executive agencies are subject. The legislative process is inherently open to the public for input, scrutiny and review. In contrast, the public is made aware of many Executive agency activities only after they occur. As such, for purposes of freedom of information law, these branches are treated differently. This differentiation is one that is recognized at the federal level as well. In addition, with respect to the legislative ethics commission, confidentiality encourages individuals to proactively seek ethics guidance. Any ethics reform requires balanced and measured actions to ensure New Yorkers are best served by their public officials.
