New York A00315 requires the legislature to fund reimbursements for localities' costs from new or increased programs mandated by law.

New York A00315 mandates that the state legislature provide funding to reimburse cities, counties, towns, and villages for costs incurred from expenditures required by any law that mandates a new program or increases the level of service of an existing program. The bill also requires the legislature to establish procedures for the allocation of these funds among the local governments. This requirement does not apply if federal funds are available and would disqualify a municipality from participating in or receiving such federal funds.
