D.A. Salary Grants for Fiscal Year 2017-2018 in Aid to Localities Budget Bill #S-2003/A-3003

*  *  *

$4,212,000 appropriation for D.A. salary grants --
2017 Aid to Localities bill -- p. 61

compare with: 2016 Aid to Localities bill -- pp. 72-73  

identical except for the reference to the state fiscal year for which the appropriation is being made. In the 2017 bill, it is "for state fiscal year 2017-2018"; whereas in the 2016 bill, it had been, erroneously, "for state fiscal year 2014-2015".  Other than that, they are the same -- including repetition of the typographical omission of the word "and" after the the words "prior to April 1, 2014"
