The New York State Legislature completed its work on Sat., June 10, 2023, marking the end to another busy and productive New York State Legislative Session. LeadingAge NY tracked over 900 bills over the course of session. The 2023 Legislative Bill Summary reviews over 120 bills that either were passed by the Legislature or failed to advance to final passage.

Now in the final week of April, LeadingAge NY is hearing that health budget discussions are being had more frequently and that funding decisions are likely to be made over the coming days. Please take a moment to contact your legislators with these talking points provided by LeadingAge NY. Your advocacy at this time is critical!

As part of the national effort, LeadingAge NY and a group of NY member providers and advocates met with 11 U.S. Senate and House offices in just one afternoon.

Using talking points developed by LeadingAge NY, please call your State Senator and Assemblymember TODAY, as soon as possible, to urge them to support the authorization of nursing home medication aides in this year’s budget.

LeadingAge NY has updated our digital budget advocacy letters to reflect one-house budget proposals. With just a couple weeks left until we see a final budget, it is critical that we keep the funding needs of long term care and aging services providers top of mind for legislators and the Governor. Please send emails to your legislators TODAY! It only takes a few clicks!

LeadingAge NY urges members to join us in leveraging the power of social media to draw attention to our long term care priority budget asks during the hearing.

LeadingAge NY is pleased to share that our president and CEO, Jim Clyne, has been ranked #29 on City & State’s 2023 Health Care Power 100 list.
