WHEREAS, on January 18, 2012, I issued Executive Order Number 38 to address limits on the use of State funds or State-authorized payments for administrative costs and executive compensation by providers of services to New Yorkers; and

WHEREAS, the many affected Executive State agencies have diligently worked to develop proposed regulations to implement Executive Order Number 38 that require an additional brief period to be finalized;
