Budget Extender Issued
This evening, Governor Hochul issued the attached Budget Extender language and memo. The language was then printed by the Legislature, S7070/ A7515 and both houses will take up the legislation tomorrow(Tuesday). This bill provides appropriations to various State departments and agencies to permit certain payments due from April 1 to April 3, 2025, to be made absent enactment of the Budget appropriation bills submitted by the Governor for the State fiscal year beginning April 1, 2025.
Given the discussions today it would appear this will be the first of a number of Budget Extenders, no April fool joke here!
