2006 New York Code - Action on budget bills by legislature; effect thereof.

 
    §  4. The legislature may not alter an appropriation bill submitted by
  the governor except to strike out or reduce items therein,  but  it  may
  add  thereto  items  of  appropriation  provided that such additions are
  stated separately and distinctly from the original items of the bill and
  refer each to a single object or purpose. None of  the  restrictions  of
  this section, however, shall apply to appropriations for the legislature
  or judiciary.
    Such  an  appropriation bill shall when passed by both houses be a law
  immediately  without  further  action  by  the  governor,  except   that
  appropriations  for  the  legislature  and  judiciary and separate items
  added to the governor's bills by the legislature  shall  be  subject  to
  approval of the governor as provided in section 7 of article IV.
