2021 New York Laws STF - State Finance Article 4 - Appropriations 50 - Transfers of Appropriations.

§   50.   Transfers   of  appropriations.  Notwithstanding  any  other   provisions of law, in  order  to  better  coordinate  and  reorient  the   administration  of  programs  which  help  to reduce, eliminate or avoid   financial dependency, in order to assure that  services  provided  under   such  programs  are  delivered  in  the  most  economical  and efficient   fashion, and in  order  to  fully  qualify  such  programs  for  federal   assistance, the director of the budget may approve contracts between the   state  department  of  social  services  and other state departments and   agencies which  may  be  providing  such  services  to  individuals  and   families  who are receiving or who are former or potential recipients of   public assistance and care, as defined by the rules and  regulations  of   the  state department of social services. Such contracts may provide for   the delivery of such services on  behalf  of  the  state  department  of   social  services  and the social services districts of the state, to the   extent feasible, upon a finding by the director of the budget that  such   contractual  arrangements  would  be  to  the  advantage of the state in   respect to Federal reimbursement and the orderly and effective provision   of such services. The fiscal benefit of any federal financial assistance   realized by the state pursuant to such contracts will be shared with any   localities which contribute to the costs of  providing  the  contractual   services,  according  to  the  proportion by which such costs are shared   between the state and localities pursuant to law, on the day immediately   preceding the execution date  of  such  contracts.  Notwithstanding  any   other provisions of law, the director of the budget is hereby authorized   to  transfer  such  funds as may be necessary to give effect to any such   contractual arrangements authorized under  this  section  to  the  state   department  of social services from funds appropriated to any such other   state departments and agencies to the extent that such transfers may  be   necessary to obtain federal reimbursements for the provision of services   of  the  same nature as those for which such funds were appropriated and   any funds so transferred shall be deemed to have  been  appropriated  to   the  state  department  of social services for the purposes of providing   for such services and obtaining federal reimbursement for their support.   No such transfer shall take effect until a certificate of transfer shall   have been issued by the director of the budget and copies filed with the   state comptroller, the chairman of the senate finance committee and  the   chairman  of  the assembly ways and means committee.  Amendments to such   certificates may  be  made  by  filing  revised  copies  with  the  same   officers.    Every such certificate shall clearly show (1) the items and   amounts of appropriations which are to be transferred, (2)  the  chapter   of  the  laws  in  which  they were originally appropriated, and (3) the   department or agency from which they are being transferred.
