Article 11-A - (State Finance) INTEREST PAYMENTS ON CERTAIN AMOUNTS OWED BY STATE
179-O - Court actions or other legal processes.

  179-o.  Court  actions or other legal processes. 1. Notwithstanding
  any other provision of law to the contrary, the liability of  the  state
  government,  insofar  as  incurring  an  obligation  to make an interest
  payment to a contractor  pursuant  to  the  terms  of  this  article  is
  concerned,  shall not extend beyond the date of a notice of intention to
  file a claim, the date of a notice of a claim, or the date commencing  a
  legal  action  for the payment of such interest, whichever occurs first.
  Any such interest payment owed by the  state  government  in  accordance
  with  the  provisions  of  this article as of such date shall be paid as
  directed by the court and, to the extent that the  interest  payment  is
  attributable  to  processing  delays  caused  by  the state agency which
  received the proper invoice  or  by  processing  delays  caused  by  the
  department  of  audit  and  control, such interest payment shall be made
  from funds available to said state agency or to the department of  audit
  and control at the time of final judgment.
2. With respect to the court actions or other legal processes referred
  to  in subdivision one of this section, any interest obligation incurred
  by the state government after the date  specified  in  such  subdivision
  pursuant  to  any  provision  of  law  other  than this article shall be
  determined as prescribed by such separate provision  of  law,  shall  be
  paid  as directed by the court, and shall be paid from any appropriation
  available for that purpose.
