The amount due each month to\neach such county provided for in subdivision (c) of this section shall\nbe reduced by the monthly Medicaid amount; and such monthly Medicaid\namount of each such county shall instead be paid into the general fund\nof the state treasury to the credit of the state purposes account\ntherein. The calculation of each such county's Medicaid amount and\nmonthly Medicaid amounts and the procedures governing the payment of\nsuch amounts shall be as follows:\n (1) The commissioner of health shall furnish the commissioner with the\namount of every county's "two thousand six-two thousand seven fiscal\nyear social services district expenditure cap amount," as provided in\nparagraph (e) of section one of a chapter of the laws of two thousand\nfive which added this subdivision, as soon as practicable but no later\nthan April first, two thousand seven.\n (2) The commissioner shall calculate the "Medicaid factor" for every\ncounty as follows and shall notify each county's chief fiscal officer of\nthe results of such calculation by April thirtieth, two thousand seven,\nto help each county determine whether to exercise such option:\n (A) for a county in which no city exercises any prior right to impose\nsales or compensating use taxes authorized by section twelve hundred ten\nof this article, first, divide the total amount of sales and\ncompensating use tax distributions to such county during state fiscal\nyear two thousand six-two thousand seven by the county's general rate of\nsuch taxes during such period, and then divide the county's "two\nthousand six-two thousand seven fiscal year social services district\nexpenditure cap amount" by the quotient of the first division;\n (B) for a county in which one or more cities exercise any prior right\nto impose sales or compensating use taxes authorized by section twelve\nhundred ten of this article and the combined rate of the county's and\ncity's taxes in each such city equals the general rate of the county's\ntaxes on similar transactions in the area of the county outside such\ncity or cities, first, add the total amounts of sales and compensating\nuse tax distributions to such county and to each such city during state\nfiscal year two thousand six-two thousand seven and divide such sum by\nthe county's general rate of such taxes during such period, and then\ndivide the county's "two thousand six-two thousand seven fiscal year\nsocial services district expenditure cap amount" by the quotient of the\nfirst division; and\n (C) for a county in which one or more cities exercise any prior right\nto impose sales or compensating use taxes authorized by section twelve\nhundred ten of this article and the combined rate of the county's and\ncity's taxes in any such city does not equal the general rate of the\ncounty's taxes on similar transactions in the area of the county outside\nsuch city or cities:\n (i) for each such city, add the total amount of sales and compensating\nuse tax distributions to such city during state fiscal year two thousand\nsix-two thousand seven and divide such sum by the city's effective\ngeneral rate of such taxes during such period, then multiply such\nquotient by the amount by which the city's rate forced a reduction in\nthe county's rate of such taxes in such city during such period, and\nthen\n (ii) add the amount derived in clause (i) of this subparagraph for\neach such city to the total amount of sales and compensating use tax\ndistributions to such county during state fiscal year two thousand\nsix-two thousand seven;\n (iii) divide the total of the addition in clause (ii) of this\nsubparagraph by the county's general rate of such taxes during such\nperiod; and\n (iv) divide the county's "two thousand six-two thousand seven fiscal\nyear social services district expenditure cap amount" by the quotient of\nthe division in clause (iii) of this subparagraph.\n (D) The commissioner shall consider any change in a county's or city's\ngeneral rate of sales and compensating use taxes which takes effect\nduring state fiscal year two thousand six-two thousand seven and the\nnumber of months such rates are in effect during such state fiscal year\nin order to perform accurately the calculations provided for in this\nparagraph.\n (3) By the twelfth day of each month, commencing in January, two\nthousand eight, the commissioner shall calculate the "monthly Medicaid\namount" of each such county which has made the election described in the\nopening paragraph of this subdivision and certify such amounts to the\ncomptroller. The comptroller shall reduce the amount due each month to\neach such county provided for in subdivision (c) of this section by such\nmonthly Medicaid amount; and the comptroller shall instead each month\npay the monthly Medicaid amount of each such county into the general\nfund of the state treasury to the credit of the state purposes account\ntherein, provided, however, that the comptroller, subject to the\nlimitations provided in paragraphs five and six of this subdivision,\nshall each month collect the amount of Nassau county's reduction from\namounts payable to such county by the Nassau county interim finance\nauthority while such authority exists.\n (4) "Monthly Medicaid amount" shall mean the result of the following\ncalculations:\n (A) for a county described in subparagraph (A) of paragraph two of\nthis subdivision, first, the amount of the comptroller's payment due\nsuch a county in the immediately preceding month, as described in\nsubdivision (c) of this section and as described in sections twelve\nhundred ten-A, twelve hundred ten-B and twelve hundred ten-C of this\narticle, but without regard to whether the comptroller is to pay all or\na portion of such amount to another entity described in subdivision (c)\nof this section and without regard to the revenue disposition provisions\nof such section twelve hundred ten-A, twelve hundred ten-B or twelve\nhundred ten-C, and considered without regard to any Medicaid amount,\nshall be divided by the county's general rate of sales and compensating\nuse taxes in such month; and the quotient of that division shall be\nmultiplied by the Medicaid factor calculated as provided in subparagraph\n(A) of paragraph two of this subdivision.\n (B) for a county described in subparagraph (B) of paragraph two of\nthis subdivision, first, add the amount of the comptroller's payment due\nany city in such a county in the immediately preceding month, as\ndescribed in subdivision (c) of this section to the amount of the\ncomptroller's payment due such a county in the immediately preceding\nmonth, as described in subdivision (c) of this section and as described\nin sections twelve hundred ten-A, twelve hundred ten-B and twelve\nhundred ten-C of this article, but without regard to whether the\ncomptroller is to pay all or a portion of such amount to another entity\ndescribed in subdivision (c) of this section and without regard to the\nrevenue disposition provisions of such section twelve hundred ten-A,\ntwelve hundred ten-B or twelve hundred ten-C, and considered without\nregard to any Medicaid amount, then divide the total of such amounts by\nthe county's general rate of sales and compensating use taxes in such\nmonth; and the quotient of that division shall be multiplied by the\nMedicaid factor calculated as provided in subparagraph (B) of paragraph\ntwo of this subdivision.\n (C) For a county described in subparagraph (C) of paragraph two of\nthis subdivision:\n (i) with respect to each such city described in subparagraph (C),\ndivide the amount of the comptroller's payment due each such city in the\nimmediately preceding month, as described in subdivision (c) of this\nsection, by the effective general rate of such city's taxes during such\nmonth and multiply such quotient by the amount by which the city's rate\nforced a reduction in the county's rate of such taxes in such city\nduring such month;\n (ii) add the amount or amounts derived in clause (i) of this\nsubparagraph to the amount of the comptroller's payment due such county\nin the immediately preceding month, as described in subdivision (c) of\nthis section and as described in sections twelve hundred ten-A, twelve\nhundred ten-B and twelve hundred ten-C of this article, but without\nregard to whether the comptroller is to pay all or a portion of such\namount to another entity described in subdivision (c) of this section\nand without regard to the revenue disposition provisions of such section\ntwelve hundred ten-A, twelve hundred ten-B or twelve hundred ten-C, and\nconsidered without regard to any Medicaid amount; and\n (iii) divide the total of the addition in clause (ii) of this\nsubparagraph by the county's general rate of such taxes during such\nmonth, and the quotient of that division shall be multiplied by the\nMedicaid factor calculated as provided in subparagraph (C) of paragraph\ntwo of this subdivision.\n (5) If for any reason a county's monthly Medicaid amount is greater\nthan the amount of the comptroller's net payment to the county for that\nmonth under subdivision (c) of this section and under sections twelve\nhundred ten-A, twelve hundred ten-B and twelve hundred ten-C of this\narticle, after the comptroller has made any payments to other entities\nrequired by subdivision (c) of this section or by any other law and\nafter any payment, deposit, appropriation, transfer or expenditure\nrequired or authorized by such section twelve hundred ten-A, twelve\nhundred ten-B or twelve hundred ten-C, the comptroller shall, at the\nsame time that the comptroller makes the payment and reduction described\nin paragraph three of this subdivision, bill such county an amount equal\nto the difference and such county shall pay in full the amount of such\nbill to the comptroller by the twenty-fifth day of such month. Such\ncounty shall use any funds available to it to pay such bill. The\ncomptroller shall deposit any such amounts received into the general\nfund of the state treasury to the credit of the state purposes account\ntherein.\n (6) If a county does not remit the required monies or pay in full a\nbill described in paragraph five of this subdivision by the twenty-fifth\nday of the month in accordance with paragraph five of this subdivision,\nthe comptroller shall, as soon as any other moneys payable to the county\nare available, either deduct any amount not paid from the amount of the\nnext payment or payments due such county pursuant to subdivision (c) of\nthis section until such amount not paid has been recovered or, in the\nalternative and at the comptroller's discretion, deduct any amount not\npaid from the amount of any other moneys payable to such county from the\ncomptroller and not subject to any lien or pledge for the benefit of\nbondholders of the Nassau county interim finance authority or of any\npublic benefit corporation, as defined in section sixty-six of the\ngeneral construction law, created by interstate compact or at least half\nof whose members are appointed by the governor, until such amount not\npaid has been recovered.
