 Introduced by M. of A. PAULIN -- read once and referred to the Committee
 on Health

 AN ACT to amend the public health law, in relation to the New York state
 medical indemnity fund account payments; and to amend chapter 517 of
 the laws of 2016, amending the public health law relating to payments
 from the New York state medical indemnity fund, in relation to the
 effectiveness thereof; and providing for the repeal of certain
 provisions of the public health law upon the expiration thereof

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

 1 Section 1. Paragraph (d) of subdivision 6 of section 2999-i of the
 2 public health law, as amended by section 2 of part K of chapter 57 of
 3 the laws of 2019, is amended and a new paragraph (e) is added to read as
 4 follows:
 5 (d) The suspension of enrollment pursuant to paragraph (a) of this
 6 subdivision shall not impact payment under the fund for any qualified
 7 plaintiffs already enrolled in the fund for the remainder of the quali-
 8 fied plaintiff's life. Notwithstanding any provision of law, rule or
 9 regulation to the contrary, the fund account is authorized to maintain
 10 payments for qualified plaintiffs already enrolled in the fund for the
 11 entire state fiscal year even if total expenditures exceed available
 12 appropriation authority.
 13 (e) Notwithstanding any provision of law, rule or regulation to the
 14 contrary, on or after April first, two thousand twenty-five and annually
 15 thereafter, the state comptroller shall transfer money from the state
 16 treasury into the fund account in an amount which shall be sufficient to
 17 avoid suspension of new enrollment for the entire state fiscal year.
 18 Notwithstanding any provision of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
 19 ry, any appropriation or appropriations in the enacted state budget that
 20 authorizes disbursement of funds from the fund account shall increase by
 21 an amount that is equal to the amount necessary to support such

 5 nity fund, as amended by chapter 112 of the laws of 2023, is amended to
