LEGISLATIVE ACTION

Aid to Counties

The Legislature provides $17,000,000 in Aid to Counties for State Fiscal Year 2003-04.

Article VII

The Legislature adds new Article VII legislation which:

  • Authorizes municipalities and school districts to utilize electronic technologies by allowing them to accept bids electronically, upon authorization by local resolution. This legislation sunsets on June 1, 2008.
  • Authorizes municipalities to share real property tax revenue. This is designed to encourage municipalities to invest jointly in projects, and subsequently allows them to share any resulting tax revenues.
  • Authorizes local governments to utilize contracts of other counties within New York State regardless of whether they are contiguous.
  • Eliminates the requirement that municipalities maintain separate bank accounts, provided that such municipality continues to account for such monies separately from other municipal funds.
  • Authorizes municipalities to collect real property taxes, fines, and other taxes and charges via the internet.
  • Authorizes municipalities to utilize their websites as an additional means of posting public notices.
  • Restores $17 million in Aid to Counties for State Fiscal Year 2003-04, to be allocated on a per capita basis based on data from the 2000 census.
The Legislature denies legislation that would:

  • Make the ability to pay the primary factor in binding arbitration decisions.
  • Authorize intermunicipal agreements in instances where only one municipality has the power to provide a service.
  • Repeal in entirety the multiple contract requirement provisions for construction projects, known as the Wicks Law.
  • Authorize tort awards against municipalities and the State to be offset by collateral source payments.
  • Authorize a floating interest rate on unpaid judgements against public entities.
  • Transfer jurisdiction in suits against public corporations to the State Court of Claims.
  • Create a State and local government short-term investment pool (STIP).
  • Authorize municipalities to invest in corporate obligations and banker’s acceptances.
  • Authorize municipalities to charge event fees for police protection services.
  • Authorize municipalities to establish fee schedules for emergency services.
  • Establish a deficit financing board and a statutory framework for assisting municipalities in fiscal distress.
  • Authorize municipalities to issue fiscal recovery and special purpose bonding through the Municipal Bond Bank Agency.
  • Authorize municipalities to issue budget deficiency notes in the event of a revenue shortfall.
  • Eliminate Division of the Budget oversight of the Town of Islip Resource Recovery Agency.
