24 of any law to the contrary, the director of the budget may reduce the
25 salary of any position which is vacant or which becomes vacant, so long
26 as the position, if encumbered, would be subject to the provisions of

34 warranted or is not appropriate for any reason.
35 § 7. Compensation for certain employees of the contract colleges at

40 agreement between Cornell University and the employee organization
41 representing employees in such positions and except those positions in
42 the Alfred service and maintenance unit which are subject to the terms
43 of a collective bargaining agreement between Alfred University and the
44 employee organization representing employees in such positions, in
45 institutions under the management and control of Cornell and Alfred
46 universities as representatives of the board of trustees of the state
47 university may be increased pursuant to plans approved by the state
48 university trustees. Such plans may include new salary schedules which

2 trustees to the incumbents of such positions.
3 2. For the purposes of this section, the basic annual salary of

5 of state moneys for the purpose of paying wages. Nothing in this section
6 shall prevent payment of additional amounts to incumbents of such posi-
7 tions in the nonprofessional service in addition to the basic annual
8 salary; provided, however, that the amounts required for such additional
9 payment, and the cost of fringe benefits attributable to such payment,

12 such purposes.
13 3. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this section, any
14 increase in compensation provided by this section may be withheld in
15 whole or in part from any officer or employee when, in the opinion of
16 the director of the budget, such withholding is necessary to reflect the
17 job performance of such officer or employee, or to maintain appropriate
18 salary relationships among officers or employees of the state, or to
19 reduce state expenditures to acceptable levels, or when such increase is
20 not warranted or is not appropriate for any reason and the salary of
21 such officer or employee is set at the discretion of the appointing
22 authority.
23 4. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subdivision, act
24 or any other provision of law, rule or regulation to the contrary, the

42 graph (a) of subdivision 3 of section 13 of chapter 732 of the laws of
43 1988, as amended, may be withheld in whole or in part from any officer

45 withholding is necessary to reflect the job performance of such officer
46 or employee, or to maintain appropriate salary relationships among offi-
47 cers or employees of the state, or to reduce state expenditures to
48 acceptable levels or when, in the opinion of the director of the budget,

8 available to such state department or agency for personal service or for
9 other related employee benefits during such fiscal year. To the extent
10 that such appropriations are insufficient in any fund to accomplish the
11 purposes herein set forth, the director of the budget is authorized to

13 available in any fund, the amounts necessary to pay such amounts. The
14 aforementioned appropriations shall be available for payment of any
15 liabilities or obligations incurred prior to April 1, 2026 in addition
16 to current liabilities.

18 other provision of law to the contrary, the sum of $112,000,000 is here-
19 by appropriated in the general fund/state purposes account (10050) in
20 miscellaneous-all state departments and agencies solely for

24 service, other than personal service and fringe benefits, and to carry
25 out the provisions of this act. No money shall be available for expendi-
26 ture from this appropriation until a certificate of approval has been
