BILL NUMBER:S1763 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the legislative law, in relation to requiring the legislature to convene daily if the legislative passage of the budget is not timely PURPOSE: Requires the State Legislature to meet each day until passage of the budget when the budget is not enacted by the April 1 deadline. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Adds a new section 5-b to the Legislative Law which provides that after April 1, if the budget is not adopted, the Legislature shall convene every day. EXISTING LAW: Current law provides that members of the Legislature do not get paid after April 1 if the budget has not been acted on by both the Senate and Assembly. JUSTIFICATION: New York has failed to adopt its budget in a timely manner every year since 1984. This bill represents an effort to reform the process and be responsive to the needs of the people of New York State.
