Section 92. Deficiency appropriations

1.    (a)    Should  the sums
  appropriated  for  medical  assistance   for   needy   persons,   family
  assistance,  or  care and protection of children pursuant to article six
  of this chapter and their administration be expended  or  contracted  or
  become  exhausted  during  the year for the purposes for which they were
  appropriated, or should no appropriation have been made, additional sums
  shall be appropriated by the proper appropriating  bodies,  as  occasion
  demands, to carry out the provisions of this chapter.
    (b)  In cities such additional sums if appropriated shall be paid from
  unexpended  balances  not  required by law to be expended for a specific
  purpose, or from contingent funds when such exist.
    (c)  In counties, such additional appropriations shall  be  paid  from
  funds  in  the  county  treasury  available therefor, provided that such
  funds were raised by taxes levied in a territory identical with that  in
  which  such  sums  may  be  expended, and then only to the extent of any
  excess thereof not needed for other purposes under other  provisions  of
  this chapter.
    (d)  Nothing contained in this section, however, shall be construed to
  prevent  the financing of such deficiency appropriations pursuant to the
  local finance law.
    2.  All the provisions of subdivision one in regard to cities shall be
  applicable to towns in Dutchess county,  and,  in  every  city  or  town
  thereof,  except  in  the  city  of  Poughkeepsie,  the  amount  of such
  additional sums must first be approved by  the  county  commissioner  of
  public welfare by writing filed with the city or town clerk.
