A 5662 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to amending the constitution to prohibit an immediate vote to be called on budget bills

This bill amends the state constitution to prevent governors from calling for an immediate vote on budget bills, even in emergencies. It strengthens the existing rule requiring bills to be printed and available to all legislators for at least three calendar days before final passage, explicitly excluding budget and appropriation bills from the governor's emergency exception. The provision ensures budget bills must follow the standard three-day review period, barring urgent procedural votes. This applies to all budget-related legislation passed by the legislature. The bill is currently under review by the Judiciary Committee.
