N.Y. Const. art. VII, § 7: Appropriation bills

§ 7. No money shall ever be paid out of the state treasury or any of

its funds, or any of the funds under its management, except in pursuance

of an appropriation by law; nor unless such payment be made within two

years next after the passage of such appropriation act; and every such

law making a new appropriation or continuing or reviving an

appropriation, shall distinctly specify the sum appropriated, and the

object or purpose to which it is to be applied; and it shall not be

sufficient for such law to refer to any other law to fix such sum.
