N.Y. State Finance Law § 179-ee: Other provisions for contracts and appropriations

§ 179-ee. Other provisions for contracts and appropriations. 1.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this article to the contrary, for

the purposes of calculating timeframes as provided in section one

hundred seventy-nine-s of this article, the enactment date of an

appropriation which finances a contract with a not-for-profit

organization which has been identified for a state agency without the

use of a request for proposals shall be deemed to be the date on which

such not-for-profit organization is identified.

2. Notwithstanding any other provision of this article, no state

agency shall be liable for interest payments on contracts executed

pursuant to appropriations made in whole or in part for liabilities

incurred in a prior fiscal year.

3. A modification to a contract that would result in a transfer of

funds among program activities or budget cost categories but does not

affect the amount, consideration, scope or other terms of such contract

shall not, by itself, require such contract and modification to be

submitted to the comptroller for review; provided, however, where the

amount of such modification is, as a portion of the total value of the

contract, equal to or greater than ten percent for contracts of less

than five million dollars, or five percent for contracts of more than

five million dollars, the comptroller may require that such modification

be submitted to him or her for review.
