                   (Executive Budget: pp. 371-373)

The Public Employment Relations Board is established under the Public
Employees' Fair Employment Act (the Taylor Law) to provide unbiased
hearing and decision making services in labor-management disputes in
New York State.

State Operations

The Executive recommends a General Fund appropriation of $3,777,000,
an increase of $15,400 over the SFY 2001-02 funding level.  An
increase of $138,700 is requested for increased salary adjustments and
other costs associated with agency operations.  This increase is
partially offset by the elimination of three positions, resulting in
a savings of $104,600.  

The Executive also recommends that $18,700 of NPS costs related to
agency operations be transferred from the General Fund to Special
Revenue Other Funds.
