BILL NUMBER:S8078 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the state finance law, the highway law, the public authorities law, the public buildings law and the education law, in relation to clarifying the definition of the term liabilities with respect to the period for which an appropriation remains in full force and effect PURPOSE: The purpose of this legislation is to authorize the continued payment for contracts that have already been entered into by the state and clar- ify that agencies may award contracts after April 1, even if the appro- priations were provided for during the prior fiscal year. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section one of the bill amends paragraph (c) of subdivision 3 of section 40 of the state finance law by clarifying that the term liability includes the value of contracts that were let, but not awarded, during the fiscal year. Section two clarifies that the Department of Transportation has the authority to award contracts for highway construction or improvements, even if the appropriation for such work was made during the preceding fiscal year.
