§ 49. Segregation of lump sum appropriations. When, in any act, lump
sum appropriations are made for personal service, or for maintenance and
operation or for non-personal service, or for maintenance undistributed
including personal service, other than such appropriations for the
legislature or judiciary, and appropriations from proprietary or
fiduciary funds, no moneys so appropriated shall be available for
payments for personal service, or maintenance and operation or for
non-personal service, or maintenance undistributed including personal
service until a schedule of positions and salaries have been approved by
the director of the budget and the amounts to be available for other
personal service classes of expenditure and for the expenses of
maintenance and operation or for non-personal service shall have been
approved by the director of the budget. Such approval shall be reported
to the chairperson of the senate finance committee, the chairperson of
the assembly ways and means committee, and the state comptroller either
by the filing of a certificate or, with the consent of the officer
receiving such notice, by means of electronic data transfer in lieu of a
certification. Any such approved schedule may be amended, however, with
notice of approval of the director of the budget given in the same
manner as set forth in the preceding sentence.
