LeadingAge NY Releases Comprehensive State Budget Analysis

The New York State Budget was passed on March 29, in advance of the April 1 start of state fiscal year 2013-14. LeadingAge New York has prepared a detailed summary of the final budget, which is now available by clicking here. The report summarizes a number of issues of broad importance to LeadingAge NY members; provides an analysis of budget provisions by service line; and compares the Executive Budget to the final budget by functional area.

LeadingAge NY worked on several issues during the budget process and was able to advance key objectives, secure revisions to some budget proposals and successfully oppose other proposals that would have adversely affected member organizations and the services they provide. Our success would not have been possible without the continued advocacy support provided by the membership. We greatly appreciate members’ participation and ongoing engagement, particularly as the legislative session continues and attention turns to programmatic issues. LeadingAge NY members are encouraged to thank their legislators for the favorable state budget outcomes we collectively realized.
