BILL NUMBER: S7395
AN ACT to amend chapter 1 of the laws of 1999, relating to the New York
Health Care Reform Act of 2000, in relation to the tobacco control and
insurance initiatives pool

SPONSOR: RULES

PURPOSE:
This bill clarifies language as requested by the State Comptroller
directing the portion of Tobacco Settlement Fund receipts dedicated to
the New York Health Care Reform Act of 2000 into the Tobacco Control and
Insurance Initiatives Pool.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Section 1 ensures the appropriate flow of tobacco settlement fund moneys
to the Tobacco Control and Insurance Initiatives Pool.
Section 2 provides that the bill shall be effective immediately, and
shall be deemed to be in force on and after April 1, 2000.

EXISTING LAW:
None.

STATEMENT IN SUPPORT:
The enactment of this clarifying language is necessary to maintain
continuity in State services and financial management in the absence of
an enacted Budget for the 2000-01 fiscal year and to maintain balance in
the 2000-01 Financial Plan. Moreover, the Comptroller has requested that
this clarification be made.

BUDGETARY IMPLICATIONS:
Enactment of this bill is needed to provide savings and revenues assumed
in the 2000-01 proposed State Financial Plan.
