2023 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.
