N.Y. State Finance Law § 49: Segregation of lump sum appropriations

§ 49. Segregation of lump sum appropriations. When, in any act, lump

sum appropriations are made for personal service, or for maintenance and

operation or for non-personal service, or for maintenance undistributed

including personal service, other than such appropriations for the

legislature or judiciary, and appropriations from proprietary or

fiduciary funds, no moneys so appropriated shall be available for

payments for personal service, or maintenance and operation or for

non-personal service, or maintenance undistributed including personal

service until a schedule of positions and salaries have been approved by

the director of the budget and the amounts to be available for other

personal service classes of expenditure and for the expenses of

maintenance and operation or for non-personal service shall have been

approved by the director of the budget. Such approval shall be reported

to the chairperson of the senate finance committee, the chairperson of

the assembly ways and means committee, and the state comptroller either

by the filing of a certificate or, with the consent of the officer

receiving such notice, by means of electronic data transfer in lieu of a

certification. Any such approved schedule may be amended, however, with

notice of approval of the director of the budget given in the same

manner as set forth in the preceding sentence.
