2017 Report of the NYS Senate Standing Committee on Local Government

Serving as Chair of our Senate Local Government Committee, it is my honor to share this 2017 Report with you, and all our colleagues, outlining many of the key issues and critical legislative initiatives successfully advanced by our Committee. The 2017 Legislative Session was particularly productive for our Senate Local Government Committee, as we once again heard from elected representatives serving in city, county, town and village governments, as well as respected advocacy organizations such as AOTSNY, NYSACC, NYSAC, NYCOM and others.

The Local Government Committee was once again among the most active of all Senate Standing Committees in terms of meetings held and bills approved. In fact, our Committee held eight public meetings, reported out 160 bills, and had 130 bills pass the Senate, with 66 of those measures being chaptered into law.
