                           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

The Executive requests a contingent General Fund appropriation of $333,800,000, 
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

The Governor recommends a General Fund appropriation of $376,000, an increase of 
$125,600 which would provide two legal and planning staff positions.

Miscellaneous Guarantee Appropriations

The Executive recommends a General Fund appropriation of $972,505,000 for the 
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.

Worker's Compensation Reserve

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.
