Greetings from Albany, NY
In this edition, we provide an overview of the NYS budget timeline and an update on the NYC budget.
Budget Timeline
Governor Hochul and NYS lawmakers are working through final details as they move closer to completing the fiscal year 2027 budget. The budget was due on April1, marking this the latest budget since 2010.
Yesterday, the Legislature passed a twelfth budget extender, allowing the current spending plan to remain in effect until May 18th. The Senate and Assembly are scheduled to return to Albany for session Monday morning. With negotiations continuing over several policy and financial issues, a thirteenth budget extender is expected, though leadership has not indicated its duration.
Some lawmakers remain hopeful that the budget will be finalized by the middle to latter part of next week, while others believe it won’t be wrapped up before Memorial Day.
