NYS Budget Update
(April 29, 2025) In an announcement made last night, April 28th, it was revealed that the Governor and Legislature have agreed on a State budget for Fiscal Year 2026. Although certain items have been agreed to, it is our understanding that negotiations on items related to health are still ongoing, including many of the issues for which we have been advocating. We anticipate that things will progress fairly quickly from here, and we will know more once final budget bills are in print later this week or early next week. We will communicate final details as soon as we learn more.
In the meantime, we encourage members to continue to call State legislators today and tomorrow, urging them to include our budget requests in the final budget agreement.
