The "Private Activity Bond Allocation Act of 2025" establishes a new formula for distributing the statewide volume ceiling for certain tax-exempt private activity bonds. These bonds are used by state and local agencies, as well as other entities, for purposes such as housing, economic development, and job creation. The act divides the statewide ceiling into three main portions: a local agency set-aside based on population, a state agency set-aside, and a statewide bond reserve. This structure aims to provide an orderly and efficient process for allocating these bonds, which require an allocation to maintain their federal tax-exempt status.

The key mechanism updates the expiration date in existing tax law to extend the tax authority beyond the previous 2025 deadline. The bill was signed into law on June 26, 2025, and will expire automatically on the specified date.
This bill (Assembly Resolution E820) is a procedural resolution that specifies the exact organizations and funding amounts for state grants in the 2025-26 fiscal year. It directly affects health centers, human services organizations, nonprofits, municipalities, and other eligible entities listed in the resolution (e.g., APICHA COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER, $25,000; UNITED HOSPICE, $95,000). The key mechanism is requiring a detailed, itemized list of grantees with allocated funds to be approved by the Assembly Speaker and budget director before being included in a spending resolution. The resolution does not create new programs but formalizes existing funding allocations for services like healthcare, mental health, and community support.
S 7798 makes technical adjustments to New York State's 2025-26 aid to localities budget, specifically reallocating $90 million from the General Fund to the "Underserved Communities and Civic Engagement Program." The bill directs funding to seven specific nonprofit organizations, including the Asian American Foundation, New York Urban League, and Catholic Charities Community Services, for services like housing assistance, workforce training, and healthcare in underserved areas. This is a procedural budget modification with no new policy changes, simply adjusting existing allocations. The bill became law on May 23, 2025, and applies immediately to the 2025-26 fiscal year.
Bill S 3004, titled "CAPITAL PROJECTS BUDGET," appropriates and reappropriates funds for various state capital projects, including comprehensive construction programs, for the fiscal year beginning April 1, 2025. These funds are made available to public officers for designated projects, requiring a certificate of approval from the budget director before payment. A key provision allows the budget director to withhold these appropriated amounts if a general fund imbalance of $2 billion or more is projected for fiscal year 2025-26, after depleting a transaction risk reserve. However, certain payments like public assistance, debt service, and those required by federal law or court orders are exempt from these potential withholdings, and the legislature can propose an alternative plan.
Bill S 3001 is an appropriations bill that allocates funds for the support and operation of the legislative and judicial branches of government for the fiscal year beginning April 1, 2025. It designates specific amounts to various offices and entities, including the Office of the Lieutenant Governor, the Senate, and the Assembly. These funds cover essential expenses such as salaries for elected officials and staff, as well as non-personal services like supplies, travel, and contractual services. The bill also provides funding for joint legislative entities, including the Legislative Ethics Commission and the Legislative Library.
Bill A 4533 extends the period during which the city of White Plains is authorized to impose an additional sales and compensating use tax. This bill changes the expiration date for several additional sales tax rates, including a half-percent and two separate quarter-percent rates, from August 31, 2025, to August 31, 2027. This allows the city of White Plains to continue collecting these specific sales taxes for two more years. It also sets a procedural requirement for the city to notify the state tax commissioner 21 days before any local law related to this tax takes effect.
