A 9563 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Requires state agencies to appear biannually in front of the relevant legislative committees

This bill requires heads of 55 specific New York state agencies (including agencies like the Department of Education, Environmental Conservation, and the State Police) to appear in person before relevant legislative committees twice each year. Agency leaders must answer questions about their operations, state policies, and other matters under their jurisdiction. The requirement applies to all listed agencies, with a designee allowed if an agency lacks a head. This creates a regular, structured process for legislative oversight of state agency activities.
