S 1560 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Requires that any bill which provides revenue to the state in a non-recurring manner shall pass by a two-thirds majority in order to become law

This bill amends the state constitution to require a two-thirds majority vote in both legislative chambers for any bill that provides the state with one-time or non-recurring revenue (such as a one-time tax cut or one-time funding). It directly affects the state legislature, raising the voting threshold for these specific revenue bills from a simple majority to two-thirds. The key provision changes the constitutional requirement for passage, ensuring such bills cannot become law without broader legislative support. This applies only to non-recurring revenue measures, not ongoing appropriations or other bill types.
