While living through an unprecedented pandemic, the membership of the New York State Lifeguard Corps rose to the occasion while quickly and efficiently Secretary Tim Mondello rewriting protocols and standard operating procedures.

Throughout the 2018 Legislative Session, the Committee remained dedicated to addressing the needs of small businesses by passing legislation designed to aid small business in recognition of the current challenging marketplace. This past session the Committee worked on legislation designed to stimulate small and entrepreneurial business growth, to help small businesses to become both energy and environmentally efficient, to promote minority-and women-owned business development, to incorporate available resources for these entrepreneurs and to ease the regulatory strain on small businesses. The Committee worked closely with its members to craft legislation that would create an online informational resource for small businesses and minority- and women-owned businesses. It also addressed public concerns stemming from a Joint Legislative hearing examining the role of online lending, by introducing legislation to provide for online lending awareness to educate businesses on the potential costs associated with obtaining loans through online marketplace lenders. The Committee will continue to examine the full range of issues affecting the needs of small businesses. I join with my colleagues and commend you for your commitment to supporting small businesses.

By requiring those on student visas to depart the U.S. until in-person classes resume, ICE is placing an unjust burden on these students. As you know, the evolving nature of the COVID-19 pandemic has forced school systems across the country to implement remote learning so that students can continue their education without the risk of exposure. Although some states have made strides in overcoming the peak of the virus, precautions are still being taken to prevent a second wave. This includes universities that have opted to maintain remote learning for the upcoming fall semester. Accessing online courses requires a consistent WiFi connection so that students can complete their coursework and partake in instruction outside of the virtual classroom.

    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.

Andrew M. Cuomo Governor New York State Capitol Building Albany, New York 12224 Dear Governor Cuomo: We write to you today as concerned elected officials from across New York, urging you and the State to continue to exercise its constitutional authority to retain existing sanctions against Iran. It is our belief that a deal of the magnitude of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action--which would restructure the geopolitical balance of an already volatile region--requires thoughtful oversight and input from all interested parties. Although it is atypical for state governments and local legislators to play a role in our nation’s foreign policy, we strongly believe that it is our role as leaders to be our constituents’ safety net and remain committed to continuing state sanctions against Iran. As you know, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, entered into by the Islamic Republic of Iran and the six world leaders comprising the P5+1, is an executive agreement that sidesteps traditional diplomacy and statecraft. While we are aware of the significant power the President and the federal government have in matters of foreign policy, those powers were never meant to circumvent the political process by unilaterally entering into an agreement with a hostile nation that is, in substance a treaty, simply by calling it another name.

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.

  • Senate Code Enforcement (Pdf)
    Senate Majority Prioritize Code Enforcement Across New York State (Albany, NY) The Senate Majority today advanced sweeping legislation improving safety by addressing code enforcement failures across the State. The legislation is the result of a six month investigation and report on code enforcement practices in New York spearheaded by Senator James Skoufis, Chair of the Senate Committee on Investigations & Government Operations, and Senator Brian Kavanagh, Chair of the Senate Committee on Housing, Construction, and Community Development. The legislation passed today will prioritize the safety and well-being of New York residents and first responders, increase transparency for stakeholders and further empower all levels of government to address code violations. “Code enforcement is essential to keeping roofs over our heads, walls from collapsing, and New Yorkers safe in their homes and businesses,”Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins said. “I applaud Senator James Skoufis, Chair of the Senate Investigations & Government Operations Committee and Senator Brian Kavanagh, Chair of the Senate Housing, Construction, & Community Development Committee for conducting an investigation into code enforcement issues and generating a report with proposals to help address these concerns. The legislation advanced by the Senate Majority will combat the alarming code enforcement shortfalls that were uncovered, and will help keep New Yorkers safe.” The legislation that the Senate Majority passed was the result of a six month investigation into Code Enforcement in New York State. The investigation took a comprehensive look at the full lifecycle of the code enforcement process, as well as a close examination of four municipalities: City of Albany, City of Newburgh, City of Mount Vernon, and Town of Ramapo.
