S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 5741 2015-2016 Regular Sessions I N S E N A T E June 1, 2015 ___________ Introduced by Sen. MURPHY -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Finance AN ACT to amend the state finance law, in relation to establishing a procedure for the informed evaluation of proposed and enacted state expenditure decreases THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Short title. This act shall be known and may be cited as the "procedure for informed evaluation of state expenditure decreases act of 2015". S 2. Legislative findings. The legislature finds that the expenditures of state funds for operations, maintenance, programs, activities and assistance have significant and complex impacts on the economic, social and environmental conditions in both the public and private sectors. Federal funding and matching funds from municipal and private sources, for example, can be affected by changes in levels of state expenditures and negative secondary impacts from cuts like the failure to maintain state property can damage the health, safety and welfare of the people and economy of the state. The legislature further finds that during a volatile economic time decisions are made to cut or impound expenditures, eliminate or downsize programs and/or lay off state employees without adequate evaluation of the consequences thereof. Therefore, the legislature declares that an analytical process should be required and information therefrom should be available to the public when a decrease in state expenditure from funds appropriated in the immediate previous state budget is proposed in a state budget bill, or before a reduction in expenditure or lay off of state employees is imposed during the implementation of an enacted state budget. S 3. The state finance law is amended by adding a new section 21-a to read as follows: EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
