 appropriations and prohibiting lump sum appropriations in the budget;
 and to repeal certain provisions of such law relating thereto

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-

 4 by chapter 1 of the laws of 2007, is amended to read as follows:

 9 by the governor and shall be known as budget bills; provided, however,
 10 that all appropriations and reappropriations contained in such budget
 11 bills shall only contain itemized appropriations which shall not be in

 19 classified into the same category as the associated program or programs
 20 have been classified in such financial plan; and is not a lump sum
 21 appropriation as defined in section two of this chapter.
 22 (a) For all non-federal state operations appropriations, such bill or
 23 bills shall only contain itemized appropriations and shall be made,
 24 where practicable, by agency and within each agency by program and with-
