§ 92. Deficiency appropriations. 1. (a) Should the sums
appropriated for medical assistance for needy persons, family
assistance, or care and protection of children pursuant to article six
of this chapter and their administration be expended or contracted or
become exhausted during the year for the purposes for which they were
appropriated, or should no appropriation have been made, additional sums
shall be appropriated by the proper appropriating bodies, as occasion
demands, to carry out the provisions of this chapter.

(b) In cities such additional sums if appropriated shall be paid from
unexpended balances not required by law to be expended for a specific
purpose, or from contingent funds when such exist.

(c) In counties, such additional appropriations shall be paid from
funds in the county treasury available therefor, provided that such
funds were raised by taxes levied in a territory identical with that in
which such sums may be expended, and then only to the extent of any
excess thereof not needed for other purposes under other provisions of
this chapter.

(d) Nothing contained in this section, however, shall be construed to
prevent the financing of such deficiency appropriations pursuant to the
local finance law.

2. All the provisions of subdivision one in regard to cities shall be
applicable to towns in Dutchess county, and, in every city or town
thereof, except in the city of Poughkeepsie, the amount of such
additional sums must first be approved by the county commissioner of
public welfare by writing filed with the city or town clerk.
