This bill (Assembly Resolution E820) is a procedural resolution that specifies the exact organizations and funding amounts for state grants in the 2025-26 fiscal year. It directly affects health centers, human services organizations, nonprofits, municipalities, and other eligible entities listed in the resolution (e.g., APICHA COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER, $25,000; UNITED HOSPICE, $95,000). The key mechanism is requiring a detailed, itemized list of grantees with allocated funds to be approved by the Assembly Speaker and budget director before being included in a spending resolution. The resolution does not create new programs but formalizes existing funding allocations for services like healthcare, mental health, and community support.

A key provision grants the budget director authority to withhold these funds if a general fund imbalance of $2 billion or more is projected for fiscal year 2025-26. However, certain payments like public assistance, debt service, and those mandated by federal law or court orders are exempt from these potential withholdings. The bill outlines a process for notification and legislative review if such withholdings are initiated.

A key provision allows the budget director to temporarily withhold certain payments if the state projects a general fund imbalance of $2 billion or more. However, specific payments like public assistance, debt service, and those mandated by federal law or court orders are exempt from these potential withholdings. The legislature is also given a period to propose an alternative plan before any withholdings take effect.

A key provision allows the budget director to withhold these appropriated amounts if a general fund imbalance of $2 billion or more is projected for fiscal year 2025-26, after depleting a transaction risk reserve. However, certain payments like public assistance, debt service, and those required by federal law or court orders are exempt from these potential withholdings, and the legislature can propose an alternative plan.
