Final Budget to be Enacted this Week

Remaining budget bills, including health and mental hygiene, were released over the weekend and are expected to be passed tonight and tomorrow by the Senate and on Thursday by the Assembly. LeadingAge New York issued a final budget summary, yesterday. All in all, aging services providers fared quite well this budget season. We are very pleased that a number of our priorities are reflected in, and many proposals we opposed were excluded, from the final budget. LeadingAge New York staff are currently analyzing the budget bills and will provide a more comprehensive analysis at the end of the week. Please be sure to watch for LeadingAge NY email updates and check our website for the latest developments.
