8th Budget Extender Bill Introduced
The Legislature is expected to take up the eighth budget extension measure later today, which will fund state government through Monday, May 4th, 2026. The Governor sent the Legislature Program Bill #31, which has been introduced as S10103 (Serrano)/ A11165 (Pretlow) and is attached.
While three-way negotiations between legislative leaders and the Governor continue slow and steadily, a deal has not yet been reached with a number of outstanding issues remaining including changes to the 2019 climate law, enhanced protections for immigrants, and details related to the proposed pied-รก-terre tax on second homes in New York City.
