A 1853 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to establishing a procedure for the governor's annual message to the legislature regarding the state of the state

Bill A 1853 amends the state constitution to require the governor to deliver an annual oral message to the legislature during the first week of each session. The message must be given in the Assembly Chamber with a quorum present in both the Assembly and Senate, outlining the state's condition and recommending specific actions. This procedural change standardizes the governor’s communication process with lawmakers, affecting how the executive branch engages with the legislature annually.
