The Executive Budget recommends (analysis as of January 19, 2000):

An ASAFL of 1,052 which, according to the Governor’s Office of Employee Relations, will result in the loss of (7) positions through attrition.
A shift in funding for the Rent Administration program from the State General Fund to Special Revenue Other. This requires legislative approval as the proposal will amend §8 of the Emergency Tenant Protection Act by deleting language that currently limits DHCR ability to recover its costs. In 1984 the State assumed administration of the NY City rent program to provide fiscal relief to NYC. Since NYC's fiscal situation is stable, this legislation seeks to ensure that the City pay its share of approximately $20 million to support this program. If the Legislature does not adopt this proposal, it will need to restore $20 million in general funds appropriation to support the Rent Regulation Program.
Increases in funding are primarily attributed to the following Special Revenue Funds: an additional $1 million in maintenance undistributed in the SRO Miscellaneous Special Revenue Fund for services and expenses related to administration of federal low-income housing tax credit program, an additional $1.5 million in maintenance undistributed in the SRF for expenditures related to administering federal section 8 program grants, and an increase in SRO for services and expenses related to enforcement of NYS's system of rent regulation, which reflects the Governor's proposal regarding funding of the Rent Regulation Program.
