The Annual Report reviews the work of the Committee on Judiciary and highlights many of its major initiatives. It also includes a brief overview of various budgetary matters that concern the courts of the state and other areas within the committee’s purview. The Judiciary Committee tackled many high-profile issues in 2018, including protections for domestic violence victims, children and families, tenants and homeowners, workers and consumers and the elderly and disabled. A top priority of the Committee each year is ensuring that funding is added to the state budget for civil legal services for low-income New Yorkers. The Judiciary Committee remains a strong advocate for providing civil legal services to those in need. This year, the Assembly continued its support for civil legal services in New York State by restoring its traditional funding as well as an increased appropriation for civil legal services through the Judiciary budget.

  • THE STATE of EARLY LEARNING in NEW YORK TOO MANY YOUNG LEARNERS STILL LEFT out Access to Full-Day Pre-K and Child Care by Legislative District
    BRIEFING GUIDE THE STATE OF EARLY LEARNING IN NEW YORK TOO MANY YOUNG LEARNERS STILL LEFT OUT Access to Full-Day Pre-K and Child Care By Legislative District What New York Leaders Need to Do Now Recommendations for 2019-20 Enacted Budget Acknowledgments Preparation of this report was truly a team effort by the Ready for Kindergarten, Ready for College Campaign including Betty Holcomb, Center for Children’s Initiatives, Marina Marcou O’Malley, the Alliance for Quality Education, Dorothy (Dede) Hill, the Schuyler Center for Analysis and Advocacy, and Pete Nabozny, The Children’s Agenda for valuable data analysis and editing. Special thanks to Jennifer March, executive director, Citizens’ Committee for Children and to the Committee’s data and research team, including Marija Drobnjak, and Sophia Halkitis, for the providing data on subsidized child care in New York City. In addition, we want to thank the National Alliance for Early Success, the New York Community Trust, Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Foundation and The Partnership for America’s Children for their support. THE STATE OF EARLY LEARNING IN NEW YORK TOO MANY YOUNG LEARNERS STILL LEFT OUT | 2 OPPORTUNITIES DENIED Working Families And The State’s Youngest Learners Left Out HIGHLIGHTS • The Governor’s proposal to add just $15 million for pre-K for 3- and 4- year olds, is unlikely to add even the 3,000 new seats he promises, and falls dismally short of rising need and unmet demand. More than 100 districts gave formal notice of interest in adding pre-K last October. • 80,000 four-year-olds across the state – mostly outside New York City – still have no full-day pre-K.

    May 13, 2020 Nancy Pelosi Speaker of the House United States House of Representatives 1236 Longworth HOB Washington DC 20515 Charles Schumer Minority Leader United States Senate Russell Wilson Senate Building Washington Dc 20515 Dear Speaker Pelosi and Minority Leader Schumer: First off we’d like to thank you, on behalf of our constituents and all New Yorkers for the work you’re doing during the COVID-19 global pandemic. We write to you today to bring up concerns we have been hearing from small businesses regarding the conditions and terms of the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). The requirement that businesses allocate 75 percent of the loan money to cover payroll costs, with only 25 percent allowed for other overhead in order for the loan to be converted to a grant, is simply not feasible for many small businesses in areas affected by COVID-19. The terms of the PPP leave only a mere eight weeks to rehire their payroll. For many, this will fall within the month of June when our state will only be in the early phases of reopening. In regions such as New York City that are unable to open up and will have a slow phase in, these restrictions to converting the funds to a loan will not be able to be met and will do further harm to those who will now be saddled with additional debt or forced to lay off their workers again. Most small businesses that are in the hospitality industry are closed or employing only a skeleton staff as a result of Governor Cuomo’s NY PAUSE order.

Among the committee’s many accomplishments was the enactment of several bills related to the reform of our state’s criminal justice system– most notably legislation to increase the age of criminal responsibility and to improve the quality of the public defense system. The Assembly also approved a series of bills to provide further protections to victims of domestic violence, sex crimes, and human trafficking. Further, the committee worked with other standing committees to enact legislation to protect children and other vulnerable populations. The Assembly can be justly proud of our legislative accomplishments which are set forth in this report. The committee extends its appreciation to you for your support.
