NYS passed 896 bills before year end

The Governor is on prowl along with majority of support from both Assembly and Senate.

896 bills passed where most without a single hearing or opportunity for public hearing. Most are on elections, climate and business transparency.

Here is the statement from Anthony Hogrebe, Communications Director of the NYS Governor's Office.

“Governor Hochul has been clear: she will always do what’s right for New Yorkers, even if it’s unpopular in the halls of Albany. This year the State Legislature passed 896 bills – more than 500 of which passed in the final days of the session – most without a single hearing or opportunity for public comment. These included a number of extreme legislative proposals that would have put public safety or the state's economic recovery at risk. Governor Hochul successfully secured common sense changes to dozens of bills, and didn’t hesitate to use her veto pen when necessary to prevent harm to New Yorkers. She will continue standing up for the people of this state, no matter what it takes.”
