 AN ACT to amend the state finance law, in relation to requiring state

 3 4. A state agency shall expend funds to the organization approved to
 4 receive such funds no later than ninety days after such agency's receipt
 5 of the certificate of approval authorizing the expenditure of such
 6 funds. If an agency expends funds later than ninety days after receipt
 7 of a certificate of approval in violation of this subdivision, such
 8 agency's budget appropriated for the following fiscal year shall be
 9 reduced by one percent of the amount authorized under such certificate
 10 of approval.
 11 § 2. Subdivision 1 of section 179-y of the state finance law, as
 12 amended by chapter 292 of the laws of 2007, is amended to read as
 13 follows:
 14 1. The state comptroller shall: (a) promulgate such rules and regu-
 15 lations as may be necessary to carry out the comptroller's responsibil-
 16 ities under this article including provisions for repayment; [and] (b)
 17 develop and implement a procedure for calculating the amount of inter-
 18 est, if any, due to any not-for-profit organization pursuant to the
 19 provisions of this article; and (c) develop and implement a procedure
 20 for calculating and reporting to the governor, the senate finance
 21 committee, and the assembly ways and means committee, the amount of
 22 reduction that shall be applied to a state agency's budget in the upcom-
 23 ing fiscal year due to a failure to timely expend funds pursuant to
 24 subdivision four of section one hundred seventy-nine-ee of this article.
 25 § 3. This act shall take effect immediately and shall apply to all
 26 contracts awarded on and after such date.
