TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the legislative law, in relation to establishing the
New York state independent budget office

PURPOSE:

The purpose of this legislation is to establish a New York State
Independent Budget Office to provide objective, non-partisan analyses
of State revenues, expenditures and management practices.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1. Adds a new article 4-B to the Legislative Law titled NEW
YORK STATE INDEPENDENT BUDGET OFFICE.

Duties of the New York State Independent Budget Office (NYSIBO) shall
include providing members and committees of the legislature
information with respect to:

* the budget, appropriation bills and bills with fiscal implications;

* estimated revenues and receipts, and changing revenue conditions;

* the effectiveness of sage agencies and programs; and

* to the extent practical, other analyses requested by such officials
or the general public.

Specific responsibilities of the NYSIBO will include:

* completing a fiscal impact statement for any bill placed on the
Assembly Ways and Means Committee's agenda or the Senate Finance
Committee's agenda, to the extent possible;

* completing a fiscal impact statement on any bill at the request of
the Speaker or Minority Leader of the Assembly or the Majority or
Minority Leader of the Senate;

* completing a fiscal impact statement at the request of committee
chairs or ranking members for any bill referred to their respective
committee;

* analyzing the Executive Budget by March 1st for the upcoming fiscal
year and reporting their findings to the Assembly Ways and Means
Committee and Senate Finance Committee;

* completing a fiscal impact statement at the request of committee
chairs or ranking members for any bill referred to their respective
committee;

* publishing a quarterly report that estimates revenue projections;
and


* publishing a report by December 1st of each year projecting a five
year fiscal outlook.

The office shall, to the extent practicable, develop proposals for
cost effective alternatives to meet the public responsibilities of the
State. The office shall publish reports to enhance understanding of
budget documents, revenues, expenditures, state management practices
and related matters. All analyses and reports shall be made available
for the public and shall be available electronically.  The director of
the NYSIBO shall be appointed by the Speaker of the Assembly and
Majority Leader of the Senate, based on the recommendations of the
Independent Budget Office Advisory Committee (NYSIBOAC). The NYSIBOAC
shall consist of one person appointed by each of the following
officials:

* the chair and ranking member of the Assembly Ways and Means
Committee; *the chair and ranking member of the Senate Finance
Committee;

* six additional members jointly appointed by the Speaker of the
Assembly and the Majority Leader of the Senate. These six members must
consist of at least one of each of the following:

* one expert in budget theory and the budget process;

* one dean or director (or former) of a graduate school of business
administration, public affairs or public administration located in New
York State;

* one officer or former officer or economic advisor to a labor union;

* one officer or former officer or economic advisor to a business
corporation; and

* one officer or former officer of a civic or public interest advocacy
organization involved in budget matters.

The NYSIBOAC shall develop guidelines for the best practices of the
office and shall meet annually with the director to review the
guidelines.

The members of the NYSIBOAC shall receive no compensation but shall be
reimbursed for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with their
duties. The director shall be appointed without regard to political
affiliation for a six year term. The director's salary shall be
determined by the NYSIBOAC.

JUSTIFICATION:

Modeled after the highly successful Congressional Budget Office and
the New York City Independent Budget Office, this legislation
establishes a non-partisan office to provide legislators with the
objective information they need to make decisions regarding the
budget.  Accurate, up-to-date information is a key ingredient for
prudent, timely budgetary and mature policy decisions. This newly
created office will provide such information to all State lawmakers.
Each year the NYSIBO will provide the Senate Finance Committee members


and the Assembly Ways and Means Committee members with an Executive
Budget analyses by March 1st. This provides ample time to review the
analyses before the budget deadline of April 1st.

New York City's Independent Budget has recently published reports on
issues including Budget Options for the City, Financing Plans for
Stadiums, Debt Affordability Measures for the City and the
Metropolitan Transportation Authority's Budget in Staten Island. As in
New York City, the NYSIBO will provide legislators and the public with
financial information covering varying issues.

All legislators, regardless of political affiliation, will be able to
utilize the services of the NYSIBO. As this will be a non-partisan
office, Senate and Assembly Members will have access to the same data,
analyses and information thereby helping to eliminate the annual
conflicts that emerge over the disparities in both revenue and
expenditure projections. This will result in an on-time budget based
on sound fiscal policy.

All documentation from this office will be made available to the
public in order to grant the public access to the same information as
the legislature. At least 23 other states including California, Texas,
Florida, Connecticut and Vermont have already established non-partisan
budget offices to assist their legislatures.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

2013-14 - S. 4005b - Investigations Government Operations Committee/A.
2007a - Government Operations Committee.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

The New York State Independent Budget Office shall be funded by 10% of
the appropriations available for the Division Budget.

EFFECTIVE DATE:

Immediate.
