New York A04771 proposes withholding the governor and lieutenant governor's salaries until the budget is passed by the legislature.

New York A04771 amends the executive law to withhold the governor and lieutenant governor's salaries if the budget is not passed before the fiscal year begins. Salary payments will resume after the budget is passed, with any withheld amounts promptly paid. The bill defines "legislative passage of the budget" as the appropriation bills being acted on by both legislative houses and deemed sufficient by the state comptroller.
