Establishes the LGBTQ+ advisory board
This bill creates a new LGBTQ+ advisory board in New York State to provide guidance and recommendations to the governor and state agencies on issues affecting the community. The board would consist of twelve appointed members who identify as LGBTQ+, excluding current legislators and state employees, with terms staggered to ensure continuity. Its main duties include conducting research, developing policy proposals, and submitting an annual report on the needs and concerns of the LGBTQ+ population. The legislation was ultimately vetoed by the governor in November 2024.
