    Committee on Banks 2019 ANNUAL REPORT New York State Assembly Carl E. Heastie, Speaker Kenneth P. Zebrowski, Chair December 15, 2019 The Honorable Carl E. Heastie Speaker of the Assembly State Capitol, Room 349 Albany, NY 12248 Dear Speaker Heastie: I am pleased to submit the 2019 Annual Report for the Assembly Standing Committee on Banks. Included herein are details of the Committee’s 2019 legislative work, other initiatives undertaken during the year, and important developments since the close of session. Additionally, you will find the Committee’s outlook for the 2020 legislative session where we will continue to protect consumers’ financial interests and rights while helping to improve and grow the banking industry across the State. The Banks Committee made significant progress during the 2019 session, reporting legislation that aimed to maintain and enhance the vitality of our State’s financial industry, expand the banking development district program, address the student loan debt crisis, increase access for consumers in under-banked communities, and maintain sound operations within the industry. The Committee’s significant accomplishments in 2019 include adding meaningful protections for student loan borrowers in the State budget as well as imposing important restrictions on bad actors in the student debt consulting industry; increasing disclosure to consumers on issues such as mortgage lending, allowing credit unions and savings banks to take municipal deposits; and, expanding the banking development district program to include credit unions. I want to thank my fellow members of the Assembly Banks Committee for all the time and work they have put in to serving the interests of the residents of our State.

  • June 4, 2020 the Honorable Andrew M
    June 4, 2020 The Honorable Andrew M. Cuomo Governor, State of New York Executive Chamber State Capitol Building Albany, NY 12224 Dear Governor Cuomo: Our state’s successful recovery from the devastating impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic depends on how quickly we transition from a state of near total lockdown to a fully functioning and vibrant economy. One sector that has been deemed necessary from day one, construction related to essential infrastructure, is key to this success. However, $743 million in local infrastructure construction and maintenance projects are on hold due to inaction by the state. We appreciate your recent statements about the importance of infrastructure investment as a critical and effective way to help restart and stimulate our economy and get people back to work. At your briefing you said: “There is no better time to build than right now. You need to start the economy, you need to create jobs, and you need to renew and repair this country’s economy and infrastructure. Now is the time to do it.” We could not agree more. And while your remarks thus far have focused on larger, regionally significant downstate tunnels and mass transit needs, we are confident that you fully recognize the importance of local transportation infrastructure projects to the vitality of so many upstate, rural economies, and to the statewide transportation system as a whole. Our Assembly Minority Conference and other legislative colleagues worked together with you this year to enact a fully committed and dedicated plan to invest in the local transportation infrastructure network through vital programs like CHIPS, PAVE-NY, BRIDGE-NY, and Extreme Winter Recovery.

  • Environmental Scorecard an Insider’S Guide to the Environmental Records of New York State Lawmakers Back to Work
    2019 New York State Environmental Scorecard An Insider’s Guide to the Environmental Records of New York State Lawmakers Back To Work Fifty years ago, New York’s leading environmental groups came together in Albany and gave rise to the “Environmental Planning Lobby” or “EPL.” Since that time, this organization — and our sister organization Environmental Advocates of New York — have been working to pass legislation that protects New Yorkers’ health and environment, as well as stop legislation that would cause them harm. For decades, our Scorecard has been a tool to hold legislators accountable to New Yorkers and the environment by reporting on their environmental voting record. During this half century, New York has enacted some remarkable environmental laws, such as the Adirondack Park Agency Act (1973), the State Environmental Quality Review Act (1975), the creation of the State Superfund (1982), the “Bottle Bill” (1983), the creation of the Environmental Protection Fund (1993), and most recently, the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act. Yet, for the past 15 years, our Scorecard has lamented a lack of environmental progress. 2005 – “The Assembly scores… But the Senate strikes out…” 2006 – “ But that’s how things work in Albany. Voters send 62 senators to Albany to make decisions, but only a handful of those senators’ opinions count. The result — good legislation gets bottled up and environmental concerns go unresolved, year after year.” 2010 – “ The Senate also has a to-do list. Despite strong bipartisan support from 30 co-sponsors, legislation to cut climate pollution languishes in committee.” 2014 – “ The Senate Environmental Conservation Committee has rapidly become a place where the environmental community’s priorities hit a brick wall.” 2018 – “ ...the Senate continues to be a place where big, bold environmental ideas go to die.” During this time, important legislation that would have tackled climate change and protected our children from toxic chemicals sat around gathering dust.

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.

  • ESSA Impact on NYC Transfer Schools Joint Letter
    July 10, 2017 Commissioner MaryEllen Elia Chancellor Betty A. Rosa New York State Education Department New York State Board of Regents New York State Education Building New York State Education Building 89 Washington Avenue 89 Washington Avenue, Room 110 EB Albany, NY 12234 Albany, NY 12234 Re: Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) and its impact on Transfer Schools in NYC Dear Commissioner Elia and Chancellor Rosa: We, the undersigned elected officials, represent a significant population of students who are over-age and under-credited who attend transfer schools throughout New York City. We are deeply troubled by the New York State Education Department’s (NYSED) intention to designate all transfer schools that have a 6-year graduation rate below 67% as failing schools. We believe that the State’s proposed plan will greatly limit the ability of transfer schools to carry out their mission of supporting NYC’s most vulnerable students. Labeling our transfer schools as failing because they do not meet the 67% standard will do nothing but discourage educators from developing innovative ways to address the complex needs of our students. It will reinforce every message our students have received that they are “not good enough,” “not smart enough,” and that they “should just drop out.” These schools provide students individualized and rigorous instructional settings, robust student support services, career and post-secondary development, and more. In the last 10 years, transfer schools have played a significant role in the reduction of the drop-out rate for these students from 22% in 2005 to 8.5% in 2016.
