BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS
(Executive Budget: pp. 449-470)
Cash Management Improvement Act
The Executive requests a new appropriation for potential expenditures related to
the annual State-Federal agreement to implement the federal Cash Management
Improvement Act (CMIA). This Act mandates that funds owed by the State to the
Federal government, as well as funds owed by the Federal government to the
State, be paid as soon as possible. The Act further requires that interest be
paid by the party that holds such funds longer than necessary. This new
appropriation of $15,000,000 is requested to provide a source of funds if the
State is found to owe interest to the Federal government.
Collective Bargaining Agreements
The Executive recommends total General Fund appropriations of $37,164,700, a
decrease of $40,434,050, which reflects the negotiated Collective Bargaining
Agreement requirements for the coming fiscal year. The current fiscal year
appropriation includes retroactive payments for two years. The Executive also
recommends a Special Revenue-Other decrease of $10,000.
Deferred Compensation Board
The Executive recommends an increase in General Fund appropriations of $4,000,
which reflects salary adjustments and other costs associated with agency
operations. The Executive also requests a Special Revenue-Other increase of
$527,000 to pay for the Deferred Compensation Plan's operating expenses,
including four new staff positions. There is also a reappropriation of $200,000
related to the assumption of oversight duties by the Board.
Governmental Accounting Standards Board
The Executive requests a new appropriation of $2,500,000 to develop an inventory
of State property. This inventory will be conducted principally by the Office
of General Services and the Department of Transportation and will include all
fixed asset property owned by the State. This inventory is required in order to
implement new accounting standards issued by the Government Accounting Standards
Board (GASB), as promulgated in GASB Statement 34.
Greenway Heritage Conservancy for the Hudson River Valley
The Governor recommends a General Fund appropriation of $304,000, an increase of
$82,000 to provide additional administrative and legal support.
Health Insurance Contingency Reserve

which is an increase of $53,700,000 over last year. This reserve exists to
facilitate changes in health insurance coverage for public employees.
Hudson River Valley Greenway Communities Council

Medical Malpractice Insurance Association (MMIA), an increase of $55,047,400
over State Fiscal Year 2000-01.
Petroleum Storage Tanks - COPs Repayment
The Executive recommends an appropriation of $3,800,000, a $565,000 decrease in
General Fund support. This is due to retirement of COPs tied to the Petroleum
Storage Tank program.
Statewide Energy Improvement
The Governor recommends a Special Revenue Funds-Other appropriation of
$1,900,000. This reflects a $400,000 increase from the current fiscal year.
Statewide Wireless Network
The Executive proposes an All Funds appropriation of $25,473,000 to continue
development of the new Statewide Emergency Communications System Network.
Funding for this project is fully supported by a monthly surcharge on cellular
telephones.

The reserve fund exists to guarantee the reimbursement of the State Insurance
Fund (SIF) for the cost of any payments made to State employee claimants who
have been injured in the line of duty. The Executive requests an appropriation
of $37,200,000 a decrease of $5,928,000 from the current fiscal year.
