The percentage to be applied to expenses incurred between April first, nineteen hundred ninety-six and September thirtieth next thereafter shall be one hundred percent, and for expenses incurred prior to April first, nineteen hundred ninety-six, the percentage shall be determined in accordance with subparagraph (ii) of paragraph (a) of this subdivision. 2-a. (a) In addition to the assistance payable pursuant to subdivisions one and two of this section, the state shall apportion and pay during each state fiscal year commencing on or after April first, nineteen hundred ninety-six assistance to each political subdivision specified in paragraph (a) of subdivision two of section thirty-nine of the judiciary law in an amount equal to one hundred percent of the expenses incurred by such political subdivision during the twelve-month period concluding September thirtieth of the preceding state fiscal year for the administration and supervision, subject to rules of the chief administrator of the courts, of a workfare program provided through the department of social services to assist such political subdivision in the cleaning and maintenance of court facilities it owns, operates or otherwise provides for the transaction of business by the unified court system.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision of paragraph (a) of this subdivision, assistance shall not be paid to any political subdivision for expenses incurred for the administration and supervision of a workfare program if the assignment of workfare participants would result in (1) the displacement of any currently employed worker or loss of position (including partial displacement such as a reduction in the hours of non-overtime work, wages, or employment benefits) or result in the impairment of existing contracts for services or collective bargaining agreements; (2) the employment or assignment of a participant or the filling of a position when any other person is on layoff from the same or any equivalent position or the employer has terminated the employment of any regular employee or otherwise reduced its workforce with the effect of filling the vacancy so created with a workfare participant; or (3) any infringement of the promotional opportunities of any currently employed person.
