S 8402 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Extends provisions relating to public hearings on proposed rules

This bill extends the existing requirement for state agencies to hold public hearings on proposed rules until January 1, 2027. It directly affects state agencies that create regulations and the public who participate in these hearings. The key mechanism is amending the expiration date in the current law (previously set to expire in 2025) to continue applying to all rulemakings published during the extended period. The bill does not change the process for public hearings but simply prolongs the current framework.
