49 - Segregation of lump sum appropriations.

  49.  Segregation of lump sum appropriations. When, in any act, lump
  sum appropriations are made for personal service, or for maintenance and
  operation or for non-personal service, or for maintenance  undistributed
  including  personal  service,  other  than  such  appropriations for the
  legislature  or  judiciary,  and  appropriations  from  proprietary   or
  fiduciary  funds,  no  moneys  so  appropriated  shall  be available for
  payments for personal service,  or  maintenance  and  operation  or  for
  non-personal  service,  or  maintenance undistributed including personal
  service until a schedule of positions and salaries have been approved by
  the director of the budget and the amounts to  be  available  for  other
  personal  service  classes  of  expenditure  and  for  the  expenses  of
  maintenance and operation or for non-personal service  shall  have  been
  approved  by the director of the budget. Such approval shall be reported
  to the chairperson of the senate finance committee, the  chairperson  of
  the  assembly ways and means committee, and the state comptroller either
  by the filing of a certificate or,  with  the  consent  of  the  officer
  receiving such notice, by means of electronic data transfer in lieu of a
  certification.  Any such approved schedule may be amended, however, with
  notice of approval of the director of  the  budget  given  in  the  same
  manner as set forth in the preceding sentence.
