A 7008 New York Assembly · 2023 Regular Session

Relates to withholding the governor's salary after the April first budget deadline until a state budget has been passed

This bill proposes a financial penalty for the governor if the state legislature fails to pass a budget by April 1st. Under this measure, the governor would not receive their salary for the remainder of the year until the budget is approved. The rule applies specifically to the annual appropriations bills submitted by the governor to fund state operations. This change aims to create a direct incentive for timely budget passage by linking the governor's compensation to legislative action.
