S 3427 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Provides for a referendum on the question "Do you support the division of New York into two separate states"

This bill would require a statewide referendum on whether to divide New York into two separate states. Voters would answer "Do you support the division of New York into two separate states?" at a general election held on or before December 31, 2026. The referendum would follow standard election procedures, with results certified to state legislative leaders. The bill expires January 1, 2027, meaning it only sets up the vote and does not create the new states. It directly affects all New York voters who would participate in this non-binding question.
