A 3500 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to increasing the authorized reimbursement rate paid to governmental entities for enforcement of navigation laws

This bill restores the state reimbursement rate for local governments enforcing navigation laws to 75% of their authorized expenditures, up from a previous 50% limit. It directly affects counties, municipalities, and other governmental entities that enforce navigation laws, as they receive state funding based on vessel registration fees. The reimbursement calculation uses a formula tied to vessel registration revenue, minus administrative costs, with the 75% cap applying to approved expenses. This is a funding mechanism adjustment, not a new law or policy change.
