Department of State
The enacted budget makes the following changes to the Executive Budget:
- Reduces the Executive Budget by $297,000. The SFY 2010-11 All Funds appropriation is a $5.22 million decrease from its SFY 2009-10 enacted budget All Funds appropriation.
- The enacted budget appropriation decrease is due to: transfer of $297,000 from the Local Government and Community Services program to the Department of Homeland Security for the Fire Prevention and Control Program, reflecting two Special Revenue Other Accounts (the Cigarette Fire Safety Account, $261,000, and the Fire Protection Account, $66,000) transferred from the Department of State.
The Senate makes the following changes to the Executives Budget proposal (analysis as of March 22, 2010):
· Proposes an additional reduction of $1 million in non-personal service appropriations for the business and Licensing Program.
· Restores $4.4 million in funding for civil or criminal legal services.
· Rejects proposal to house the new Office of Indigent Defense in the Division of Criminal Justice Services and transfers all appropriations totaling $80 million associated with the Office of Indigent Defense to the Department of State.
· Accepts the transfer of some of the functions of the Office of Fire Prevention and Control into the newly created Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services.
The 21-day amendments propose the following changes (analysis as of February 10, 2010):
An increase of $506,000 in the Special Revenue Other fringe benefits appropriation in the Business and Licensing Services program to fully pay fringe benefit liabilities for SFY 2010-11.
The Executive Budget recommends (analysis as of January 25, 2010):
A workforce of 677 a decrease of 130 positions from adjusted 2009-10 levels and a decrease of 53 positions from the 2009-10 Executive Budget. Most of this decrease is in the Local Government & Community Services Program SRO. This decrease of 130 FTEs primarily reflects the impact of the statewide hiring freeze and the transfer of the Office of Fire Prevention and Control (transfer of 124 FTEs and attrition of 8), and related fire programs, to the Division of Homeland Security and Emergency
Services. Additional staffing is recommended for the Athletic Commission (in the Licensing Services Program) to regulate the conduct of professional mixed martial arts competitions in the State. Staff increases resulting from the inclusion of the Authorities Budget Office appropriation in the Department’s budget are also included in 2010-11 staffing levels.

An All Funds Budget decrease of $5.432 million, or, (-6.7%) from the enacted SFY 2009-10 budget. Most of this decrease is due to $5.47 million, or -13.3% decrease in the Business and Licensing Services SRO ($4.83 million of this is in contractual services), and the transfer of the Fire Prevention and Control SRO ($3.3 million), the Emergency Services Revolving Loan Account SRO ($243,00) and the NY Fire Academy ($1.2 million) to the Office of Homeland Security, offset by an increase of $5.6 million for the Great Lakes Initiative and $1.8 million for the Authorities Budget Office Program
·
A $42.6 million appropriation for personal services an increase of $1.26
million, or 3.1%. Significant changes in personal service appropriations
exclusive of transferred programs are as follows:
o
Authorities Budget Office (ABO), increase $953,000, or, 100%.
o
Great Lakes Initiative Acct increased by $1.71 million SRF, or 100%.
o
According to the Assembly Yellow book, the Executive budget proposes 6 FTEs
within the Business and Licensing Program attributed to the licensing and
regulation of mixed martial arts offset by 15 FTEs lost through attrition.
·
The Authorities Budget Office (ABO) was statutorily created by Chapter 506 of
the Laws of 2009 as an independent office with administrative support and other
host services provided through the Department of State. The Authorities Budget
Office is not supported by a General Fund appropriation. Rather, a portion of
the assessment the State charges public authorities is used to fund its
operations. The Executive Budget recommends funding of $1.82 million to support
a staffing level of
11 FTEs
for the Office.
·
A $9.6 million appropriation for contractual services a decrease of $6.98
million, or (-42%). This includes a reduction of $4.8 million in the
Business and Licensing Services SRO in the Business and Licensing Services
Program, and a reduction of $1.3 million in the Administrative Program.
·
Spending $2.8 million for 108 contract employees in SFY 2009-10 and anticipates
spending $3 million to support 99 consultant employees in SFY2010-11. It
is important to note that the consultant employees are not reported on a FTE
basis, therefore, it is difficult to draw conclusions as the cost per employee.
·
Proposes the
following Article VII legislation:
·
Authorize the conduct and regulation of professional mixed martial arts sporting
events in New York State.
Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the 2010-11 Executive Budget as
the State Financial Plan assumes $1.37 million in recurring net revenues
resulting from the authorization of professional mixed martial arts sporting
events in New York.
·
Extend for one year the authority of the Secretary of State to charge increased
fees for expedited handling of documents.
Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the 2010-11 Executive Budget.
The 2010-11 Executive Budget assumes that expedited handling fees will be
enacted since the costs associated with expedited handling are greater than
those associated with traditional requests. Failure to enact this bill
will result in annual revenue losses of approximately $3.5 million, forcing the
Department to bear the additional costs related to expedited services without
supporting revenues.
·
Merge the Office of Homeland Security, the State Emergency Management
Office, the State 911 Board, the Office of Cyber Security and Critical
Infrastructure Coordination, and the Office of Fire Prevention and
Control into a re-constituted agency named the Division of Homeland Security
and Emergency Services.
