N.Y. Executive Law § 64: Costs recovered

§ 64. Costs recovered. Costs recovered by the attorney-general may be

applied by him in payment of the expenses incurred by him in the action

or proceeding in which they are received, or of any expenditure which he

is authorized to incur not otherwise provided for. He shall, at the

close of each fiscal year, render to the comptroller an account of such

costs received, with vouchers of such expenditures. During the fiscal

year, the comptroller is authorized to transfer any amount available

within the account dedicated for this purpose to the general fund, upon

the request of the director of the budget. In the event insufficient

cash remains in such account to meet expenditures against available

appropriations from such account, the comptroller is authorized to

transfer the amounts necessary to meet such expenditures from the

general fund; provided however that in no event shall the cumulative

value of any such transfers from the general fund made to such account

within a single fiscal year exceed ten percent of the value of the

appropriations made in such fiscal year from such account or the

cumulative balance of transfers from the account to the general fund.

The comptroller shall establish such accounts and records as are

necessary to provide an accurate accounting and reporting of the

transfers to or from the general fund.
