S1073A-2011 Memo

BILL NUMBER:S1073A

TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the state finance law, in relation to agency expenditure
reporting

PURPOSE:
The purpose of this legislation is to require each State agency,
covered authority and the Judiciary to make public an expenditure
report itemizing all cash disbursements made during the appropriate
reporting period.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Section One: Requires the Director of the Budget on or before May 15
and November 15 of each year to compile and make public an
expenditure report for each State agency, covered authority and the
Judiciary and any 501 (c)(3) not-for-profit corporation affiliated
with the State University of New York showing all cash disbursements
made by or on behalf of each entity during the preceding six months
ending March 31 and September 30 respectively.

This compilation shall be based upon actual cash disbursements as
recorded by the office of the State Comptroller, New York State
vouchers and payroll forms submitted by each State agency, covered
authority or the Judiciary. Cash disbursements related to personal
service expenses and non-personal service expenses shall be itemized
and broken down in detail.

Section Two: The effective date of this legislation shall be on the
first of January next succeeding the date on which it shall become law.

JUSTIFICATION:
This legislation is necessary to permit the public a greater awareness
of the internal financial workings of each State agency, covered
authority and the Judiciary.

While it requires the Director of the Budget to compile certain data
pertaining to expenditures. this effort will promote openness in
government and financial accountability by the agencies and the
Judiciary to the public.

Disclosure of these expenditures should also enable the Legislature
and the State Comptroller's Office to more closely monitor the
operation of these agencies and will provide a resource document for
the future to help determine if the purposes of State government are
being met on a semiannual basis by the covered entities.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
2008:    S.6358 Passed Senate 62-0;
2009-10: Referred to Senate Finance Committee

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
This bill should result in significant cost savings to the state as it
will keep the public and legislature fully and regularly appraised of
the expenditures of state agencies and authorities.


EFFECTIVE DATE:
This Act would take effect on the first of January next succeeding the
date on which it shall have become a law.
