2006 New York Code - Appropriation bills.

 
    §  7.  No money shall ever be paid out of the state treasury or any of
  its funds, or any of the funds under its management, except in pursuance
  of an appropriation by law; nor unless such payment be made  within  two
  years  next  after the passage of such appropriation act; and every such
  law  making  a  new  appropriation  or   continuing   or   reviving   an
  appropriation,  shall  distinctly  specify the sum appropriated, and the
  object or purpose to which it is to be applied;  and  it  shall  not  be
