Establishes the "reciprocal enforcement of claims on unpaid or reduced state entitlements act" to report on federal funds owed to New York.
The bill establishes the "reciprocal enforcement of claims on unpaid or reduced state entitlements act" or "RECOURSE act." It mandates the state comptroller to issue a report on federal funds owed to New York due to the federal government's nonpayment in violation of a court decision. If the report indicates federal funds are owed, the governor, comptroller, and budget director can withhold federal payments to the state, up to the amount owed. The withheld funds can then be appropriated as state funds.
