        AN ACT to amend the executive law, in relation to withholding the gover-

     1    Section 1. The executive law is amended by adding a new section 13  to
     2  read as follows:
     3    §  13.  Compensation of the governor and lieutenant governor; legisla-
     4  tive passage of the budget. 1. If legislative passage of the budget  has
     5  not occurred prior to the first day of any fiscal year, the governor and
     6  lieutenant  governor's  bi-weekly salary installment payments to be paid
     7  on or after such day shall be withheld and not paid until such  legisla-
     8  tive  passage  of  the  budget  has  occurred whereupon bi-weekly salary
     9  installment payments shall resume and an amount equal  to  the  accrued,
    10  withheld and unpaid installments shall be promptly paid.
    11    2. For the purposes of this section, "legislative passage of the budg-
    12  et"  shall  mean  that  the appropriation bill or bills submitted by the
    13  governor pursuant to section three of article seven of the state consti-
    14  tution have been finally acted on by both houses of the  legislature  in
    15  accordance  with  article  seven of the state constitution and the state
    16  comptroller has determined that such appropriation bill  or  bills  that
    17  have  been  finally  acted  on by the legislature are sufficient for the
    18  ongoing operation and support of state government and  local  assistance
    19  for  the  ensuing fiscal year. In addition, legislation submitted by the
    20  governor pursuant to section three of article seven of the state consti-
    21  tution determined necessary by the legislature for the effective  imple-
    22  mentation of such appropriation bill or bills shall have been acted on.
    23    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
