New York State Budget Reform enacted for the 2007–2008 fiscal year has affected how state agencies manage budgets and balances. Some new expenditure categories have been created by either separating or clustering familiar categories. Specifically, “Overtime and Holiday Pay” is now a separate expenditure category. Non-payroll categories of Supplies, Storehouse, and Duplicating constitute “Total Supplies”; Contractual, Telephone, and Postage categories are “Total Contractual Services.” The SMRT (SUNY Management Resource Tool) Application will display these new categories effective Monday, January 14.
