LEGISLATIVE ACTION

The Legislature provides $2,152,373,500 on an All Funds basis, a net increase in 
appropriation authority of $16,457,500. This reflects a decrease of $2,000,000 
offset by increases totaling $18,457,500 to the Executive budget submission.

Legislative Reductions

The Legislature reduces the Adult Services Program Aid to Localities 
appropriation by $2,000,000 to reflect a re-estimate of expenditures in the 
Medication Grants Program due to implementation delays.

Legislative Changes

The Legislature takes specific actions to address the workforce crisis and the 
shortage of services in certain areas of the State by:

--   providing $14,509,000 in State Fiscal Year 2002-03 ($30,774,000 on a full 
annual basis) to support a three percent cost of living adjustment to State 
aid and a ten percent increase to Medicaid fees for outpatient mental health 
services provided by not-for-profit agencies, effective December 1, 2002, and 

--   adding $1,300,000 to restore 30 county shared staffing positions, 
eliminated by the Executive in the State Fiscal Year 2002-03 proposed budget, 
to assure that quality mental health services continue to be accessible to the 
residents of upstate and rural New York State.

The Legislature also adds $1,010,000 for non-recurring expenses at the Nathan 
Kline and New York Psychiatric Institutes and $700,000 for services and expenses 
related to enhanced Medicaid payments for Article 31 certified children's day 
treatment programs.  In addition, the Legislature adds $766,000 in support for 
community based, not-for-profit providers of services to persons with mental 
illness.

Article VII

The Legislature denies legislation that would eliminate the Youth Opportunity 
Program that provides part-time employment to disadvantaged young persons in 
danger of dropping out of high school.
