§ 179-ee. Other provisions for contracts and appropriations. 1.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this article to the contrary, for
the purposes of calculating timeframes as provided in section one
hundred seventy-nine-s of this article, the enactment date of an
appropriation which finances a contract with a not-for-profit
organization which has been identified for a state agency without the
use of a request for proposals shall be deemed to be the date on which
such not-for-profit organization is identified.

2. Notwithstanding any other provision of this article, no state
agency shall be liable for interest payments on contracts executed
pursuant to appropriations made in whole or in part for liabilities
incurred in a prior fiscal year.

3. A modification to a contract that would result in a transfer of
funds among program activities or budget cost categories but does not
affect the amount, consideration, scope or other terms of such contract
shall not, by itself, require such contract and modification to be
submitted to the comptroller for review; provided, however, where the
amount of such modification is, as a portion of the total value of the
contract, equal to or greater than ten percent for contracts of less
than five million dollars, or five percent for contracts of more than
five million dollars, the comptroller may require that such modification
be submitted to him or her for review.
