§ 179-ee. Other provisions for contracts and appropriations. 1. Notwithstanding any other provision of this article to the contrary, for the purposes of calculating timeframes as provided in section one hundred seventy-nine-s of this article, the enactment date of an appropriation which finances a contract with a not-for-profit organization which has been identified for a state agency without the use of a request for proposals shall be deemed to be the date on which such not-for-profit organization is identified. 2. Notwithstanding any other provision of this article, no state agency shall be liable for interest payments on contracts executed pursuant to appropriations made in whole or in part for liabilities incurred in a prior fiscal year. 3. A modification to a contract that would result in a transfer of funds among program activities or budget cost categories but does not affect the amount, consideration, scope or other terms of such contract shall not, by itself, require such contract and modification to be submitted to the comptroller for review; provided, however, where the amount of such modification is, as a portion of the total value of the contract, equal to or greater than ten percent for contracts of less than five million dollars, or five percent for contracts of more than five million dollars, the comptroller may require that such modification be submitted to him or her for review.
