   §  3.  No  expenditure may be made from any appropriation in this act,
 until a certificate of approval has been issued by the director  of  the
 budget  and  a  copy  of such certificate shall have been filed with the
 state comptroller, the chairman of the senate finance committee and  the
 chairman  of  the  assembly  ways and means committee provided, however,
 that any expenditures from any appropriation in this  act  made  by  the
 legislature or judiciary shall not require such certificate.
 
   §  4.  All  expenditures  and disbursements made against the appropri-
 ations in this act shall, upon final action by the legislature on appro-
 priation bills submitted by the governor pursuant to article VII of  the
 state  constitution  for  the support of government for the state fiscal
 year beginning April 1, 2023,  be  transferred  by  the  comptroller  as
 expenditures  and  disbursements  to  such  appropriations for all state
 departments and agencies, as applicable, in amounts equal to the amounts
 charged against the appropriations in this act for each such department,
 agency, and the legislature and the judiciary.
 
   § 5. Severability clause. If any clause, sentence, paragraph, subdivi-
 sion, section or part of this act shall be  adjudged  by  any  court  of
 competent  jurisdiction  to  be invalid, such judgment shall not affect,
 impair, or invalidate the remainder thereof, but shall  be  confined  in
 its  operation  to the clause, sentence, paragraph, subdivision, section
 or part thereof directly involved in the controversy in which such judg-
 ment shall have been rendered. It is hereby declared to be the intent of
 the legislature that this act would  have  been  enacted  even  if  such
 invalid provisions had not been included herein.
 
   §  6.  This  act  shall take effect immediately and shall be deemed to
 have been in full force and effect on and after April 1, 2023; provided,
 however, that upon the transfer of expenditures and disbursements by the
 comptroller as provided in section four of this act, the  appropriations
 made by this act and subject to such section shall be deemed repealed.
