New York State Senator Mike Nozzolio has been reappointed to serve as the Chairman of the New York Senate Budget Sub-Committee for Public Protection.
The Public Protection Budget Sub-Committee is responsible for reviewing all aspects of the criminal justice budget as well as budgets for correctional services, military and naval affairs, the state police, the judiciary and homeland security. In the coming weeks, the Sub-Committee will be meeting as the Senate prepares its budget proposal for the Fiscal Year 2017.
“It is an honor to be given the important responsibility of Chairman for the Public Protection Budget Sub-Committee,” said Senator Nozzolio. “One of my top priorities is to ensure the protection of our citizens, and I will work directly with my Senate colleagues to do everything we can to protect our families, homes and communities.”
“As Chairman of the Senate Budget Sub-Committee on Public Protection, I will continue to support our police, first responders, correctional officers, and all other aspects of our criminal justice system and homeland security,” continued Senator Nozzolio.
“Additionally, I will work to ensure State government, including the judiciary, remains accountable to the taxpayers of New York State. There is no better way to do that than to deliver an on-time, fiscally responsible State budget that builds on the many successes we have achieved over the last several years.”
As Chairman of the New York State Senate Codes Committee and Public Protection Sub-Committee, Senator Nozzolio will be holding a Joint Legislative Public Hearing in order to strengthen criminal justice laws to protect both citizens and police officers. The Committee hearing will be held on February 4, 2016 in Albany and will examine issues relating to police safety and public protection.
The February 4th hearing will be held at 9:30 AM in Hearing Room B of the Legislative Office Building.
Senator Nozzolio has also been appointed to the Transportation Sub-Committee. Senator Nozzolio is Chairman of the New York State Senate Codes Committee and also serves on the Senate Finance Committee, which is responsible for all aspects of the State budget.
