A 8670 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to items of appropriation

This bill amends constitutional provisions governing how state budget bills are structured. It requires the governor to submit all proposed spending in separate "appropriation bills" that each cover only one specific purpose, with clear descriptions of what each fund supports. The governor must also submit any related policy changes in distinct "nonappropriation bills," not bundled with funding requests. These changes aim to improve transparency by ensuring each budget item is clearly defined and reviewable by lawmakers and the public.
