My 2 name is Liz Krueger. I'm the chair of the 3 Senate Finance Committee, and I will be, I 4 guess, MCing today's hearing. 5 Of course I'm joined by my partner 6 from the Assembly, Helene Weinstein, the 7 chair of Ways and Means. 8 This is the Environmental Conservation 9 Executive Budget hearing, Wednesday, 10 January 27th. We start now. I suspect we 11 will be going on until the evening. 12 Some brief opening remarks before we 13 get this hearing going. It is a 14 constitutional requirement that we have our 15 budget hearings after the Governor offers us 16 his Executive Budget. Today is the second of 17 13 hearings conducted by the joint fiscal 18 committees of the Legislature regarding the 19 proposed budget for fiscal year '21-'22. 20 These hearings are conducted pursuant to the 21 Constitution and Legislative Law. 22 Today the Senate Finance Committee and 23 the Assembly Ways and Means Committee will 24 hear testimony concerning the Governor's 11 1 proposed budget for four different 2 departments: The Department of Environmental 3 Conservation, the Office of Parks, Recreation 4 and Historic Preservation, the Department of 5 Agriculture and Markets, the Public Service 6 Commission and the New York State Energy 7 Research and Development Authority -- and 8 they will be co-testifying, the last two. 9 Following each testimony there will be 10 some time for questions from the chairs of 11 the fiscal committees and other relevant 12 committees for that topic. 13 I will now introduce members from the 14 Senate, and Assemblymember Helene Weinstein, 15 chair of the Assembly Ways and Means 16 Committee, will introduce members from the 17 Assembly. And in addition, Tom O'Mara, 18 ranking member of the Senate Finance 19 Committee, will introduce members from his 20 conference. 21 Let me just get back to the ongoing 22 list -- one second -- of Senators who are 23 here already. And again, we are conducting 24 Zoom virtual hearings this year, which means 12 1 everything is a little bit of an experiment 2 for us. We have Senator Anna Kaplan, we have 3 Senator José Serrano, we have Senator Todd 4 Kaminsky, we have Senator Kevin Parker, we 5 have Senator Pete Harckham, we have 6 Senator -- I'm skipping my Republican 7 colleagues. I know we have Senator Rachel 8 May, we have Senator John Mannion, we have 9 Senator Michelle Hinchey. 10 And I think I'm going to turn it over 11 first to Tom O'Mara to just welcome his 12 Senate Republicans, and then we'll go to the 13 Assembly. 14 SENATOR O'MARA: Yes, thank you, 15 Chairwoman Krueger. 16 I would just like to recognize that we 17 are joined today by Senator Dan Stec, Senator 18 Patty Ritchie, Senator Sue Serino, and 19 Senator Jim Tedisco. 20 Thank you. I think that's all of 21 them. 22 CHAIRWOMAN KRUEGER: Thank you. 23 SENATOR O'MARA: Excuse me. Senator 24 Daphne Jordan is on here as well. 13 1 SENATOR BORRELLO: You forgot me also, 2 Tom. 3 SENATOR O'MARA: And George Borrello, 4 and I'm looking right at him. 5 CHAIRWOMAN KRUEGER: Trust me, 6 audience, it's hard to do this this way. 7 And I'm going to turn it over to 8 Assemblywoman Helene Weinstein, chair of Ways 9 and Means. 10 CHAIRWOMAN WEINSTEIN: Thank you, 11 Senator Krueger.

    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.

    ASSEMBLY Annual Report

    NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY SHELDON SILVER, SPEAKER committee on Veterans’ Affairs William B. Magnarelli, Chair Annual Report December 15, 2010 Honorable Sheldon Silver Speaker New York State Assembly Room 932 Legislative Office Building Albany, New York 12248 Dear Mr. Speaker, It is with great pleasure that I forward to you the 2010 Annual Report of the New York State Assembly Standing Committee on Veterans’ Affairs. In early March, I was honored, Mr. Speaker, to be named by you as chair of this important committee. I hope to continue the Assembly tradition of leadership that has been established since the committee was created in 1983. Several significant measures became law this year, including legislation that provides funeral directors, undertakers, and funeral firms in possession of cremated remains for more than one hundred and twenty days a method of determining if such remains are those of a veteran and how they may be disposed of, with the help of certain veterans’ service organizations. This legislation will significantly facilitate the interment of veterans’ unclaimed remains by removing the barriers that now exist, while effectively providing the legal protection necessary to funeral directors and veterans’ organizations alike as part of this noble endeavor. Some of the other measures enacted into law included: extension of the statute of limitations for cases based on torturous exposure of military personnel in Indo-china to phenoxy herbicide (Agent Orange); requiring the division of veterans’ affairs to maintain a small business portal on the division’s website; and the extension at local option of the redemption period for residential property for certain persons deployed by the military to four or five years.

    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.
