LEGISLATIVE ACTION


The Legislature appropriates $196,830,352 on an All Funds basis, an increase 
of $47,890,352 over the Executive budget submission. 

An increase of $20,800,000 will fund the newly created Local Enhanced Wireless 
911 Program.  A total of $20,000,000 will be available to local governments in 
State Fiscal Year 2002-2003 for the acquisition and financing of equipment to 
enhance wireless emergency 911 services, while $800,000 will fund personal and 
nonpersonal service costs associated with the program.  In the first year, 
$20,000,000 is available and $10,000,000 a year thereafter for reimbursement 
of eligible costs incurred by localities providing wireless emergency 
services.  The program creates a New York State 911 Board that will be 
responsible for establishing the mandatory standards that wireless public 
safety answering points must abide by to be eligible for funding.  
An additional $700,000 in funding is provided to the Emergency Services 
Revolving Loan Fund from expedited loan repayments.  Finally, the Legislature 
provides $26,390,352 in additional funding for community based programs.

Grant Program.

a Class A felony.  

The Legislature approves the Executive's Article VII proposal that would 
authorize the Lake George Park Commission to increase boat and dock registration
