                          BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS
                   (Executive Budget: pp.385 -388)

The Division of State Police (DSP) is responsible for ensuring highway
safety and performing special investigative police services throughout
the state.  

This agency is contained in the Public Protection and General
Government appropriation bill.

The Executive recommends an All Funds appropriation of $445,380,000,
a decrease of $12,928,000 or2.8 percent.

State Operations
  
The Executive proposes an All Funds State Operations appropriation of
$440,780,000, a reduction of $14,828,000, and a General Fund State
Operations appropriation of $336,927,000, a decrease of $27,175,000.
This decrease is attributable to the elimination of vacant civilian
positions, salary adjustments, costs associated with agency operations
and non-recurring binding arbitration payments.  
       
The Executive proposes three new Federal multi-year grant initiatives. 
They are as follows:
       
--     School Cop Program, which includes 35 Full-Time Equivalent
       (FTE) positions, $4,400,000;
       
--     Electronic ticketing program which includes 20 FTE positions,
       $9,300,000 comprised of:
       
       --        Motor Carrier Safety Program, which includes 11 FTE
positions, $2,600,000;
       --        Federal Highway Safety Program which includes 9 FTE
positions, $6,700,000; and

--     Money laundering program which includes 3 FTE positions,
       $300,000.
       
Capital Projects

The Executive proposes a $4,600,000 Capital appropriation, an increase
of $1,900,000 over SFY 2001-02, for the maintenance and improvement of
existing facilities fund. These funds are slated to be used for health
and safety repairs and general maintenance.

Article VII Proposals

This legislation would provide for the use of funds collected as a
surcharge on cellular telephone service.

The legislation would authorize the use of cellular surcharge fees to
support Homeland Security Activities and would allow municipalities to
institute an additional monthly cellular surcharge of thirty cents.
The new locally based cellular surcharge would be used to defray local
costs associated with emergency response and implementation and
operation of public safety communications networks. The legislation
would also clarify the definition of cellular to include most methods
of wireless communications. The revenues from the existing surcharge
would be available for costs associated with the Statewide Wireless
Network, ($86,300,000) and the New York State Emergency Services
Revolving Loan Account, ($1,500,000). 

Currently, there is a Statewide monthly cellular telephone surcharge
of seventy cents that is used by the Division of State Police to
offset $25,500,000 of its costs associated with emergency response
operations.

The Executive proposes to sweep $86,300,000 from the State Police
Miscellaneous Special Revenue Fund, Seized Assets Account to the
Miscellaneous Special Revenue Fund, Statewide Public Safety
Communications Account.

The Executive proposes to sweep $1,500,000 from the Miscellaneous
Special Revenue Fund, Seized Assets Account to the Combined Expendable
Trust Fund, New York State Emergency Services Revolving loan account.
