 AN ACT to amend the state finance law and the criminal procedure law, in
 relation to establishing a reentry services and treatment fund; and
 making an appropriation therefor

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. The state finance law is amended by adding a new section
 2 92-kk to read as follows:
 3 § 92-kk. Reentry services and treatment fund. 1. There is hereby
 4 established in the joint custody of the state comptroller and the
 5 commissioner of taxation and finance a special fund to be known as the
 6 "reentry services and treatment fund" for the purposes of funding volun-
 7 tary services and treatment in the community for New Yorkers reentering
 8 the community after a period of incarceration.
 9 2. The several amounts specified in this section for reentry services
 10 and treatment, or so much thereof as shall be sufficient to accomplish
 11 the purposes designated by the appropriations, are hereby appropriated
 12 and authorized to be paid as hereinafter provided, to the respective
 13 public officers and for the several purposes specified.
 14 3. Money allocated to the reentry services and treatment fund shall be
 15 kept separate and shall not be commingled with any other funds in the
 16 custody of the state comptroller.
 17 4. Money expended from this fund shall be used to supplement and not
 18 supplant or replace any other funds, including federal or state funding,
 19 which would otherwise have been expended for reentry services and treat-
 20 ment. Provided further, general operating funds or baseline funding
 21 shall not be reduced due to monies expended from the fund.
 22 5. This fund shall consist of monies appropriated by the legislature
 23 to be spent on eligible expenditures as defined herein.

 1 6. Funding shall be distributed regionally and to ensure adequate
 2 geographic disbursement across the state. In addition to programs and

 4 may also be expended on programs and services overseen by the department
 5 of health, the office of mental health, the division of housing and
 6 community renewal, the office of addiction services and supports, the
 7 office of temporary and disability assistance, or any other agency that

 11 linguistically and gender competent, trauma-informed, evidence-based
 12 and, where appropriate, employ individuals with lived experience as part
 13 of the services provided. Agencies, offices, and programs receiving such
 14 funding shall collaborate at the regional level to identify gaps of
 15 service and develop a comprehensive continuum of services to support the
 16 reentry and treatment needs of individuals reentering the community
 17 after a period of incarceration.
 18 7. On or before November first of the year after the initial deposit
