This bill creates a state fund to reimburse property owners and installers for enhanced septic system projects. It defines "enhanced" systems as those reducing nitrogen to 19 mg/l or significantly cutting phosphorus/PFAS pollution in wastewater. Reimbursement covers 75% of costs (up to $25,000 per property) for enhanced systems versus 50% (up to $10,000) for standard systems. The program applies only to projects with county participation agreements after the bill’s effective date. The bill was signed into law on July 23, 2025 (Chapter 188).
This bill extends Erie County's authority to collect two specific additional sales and use tax rates through November 30, 2027. It maintains a 1% additional tax rate (previously set to expire in 2025) and continues a 0.75% additional tax rate (which began in 2011) for the same extended period. All revenue from the 0.75% rate must be used solely by Erie County for its own purposes and cannot be shared with other entities. The bill directly affects Erie County residents and businesses by continuing these specific tax rates beyond their original expiration dates.
This bill extends the existing authority of Cold Spring Village to collect a hotel and motel tax, allowing the village to continue this tax until July 21, 2027.

The change directly affects Cold Spring businesses operating hotels or motels and the village's ability to fund local services through this revenue source. The bill does not create a new tax but extends the current one's validity period. (Signed into law July 21, 2025, as Chapter 185.)
This bill extends New York City's school speed zone photo enforcement program until 2030 (previously set to expire in 2025) and makes minor technical corrections to related traffic laws. It directly affects drivers in NYC school zones who may receive citations from photo enforcement cameras.

The bill does not change enforcement rules but ensures the current system continues operating through 2030.

The agency can continue administering current housing programs, including neighborhood revitalization, under these extended terms. The changes directly affect the agency, housing developers, and low-to-moderate income residents seeking financed housing.

The bill was signed into law on June 26, 2025, ensuring the tax remains in effect through 2027.
