This bill extends an existing property tax rule in Clarkstown, Rockland County, for one additional year. It limits how much the tax rate for specific property classes can change annually - capping increases at 1% compared to the previous year's rate. The rule applies to Clarkstown's tax assessments for the 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 tax years, continuing a policy already in place since 2017. This affects Clarkstown property owners whose tax classifications are adjusted under this cap. The change is procedural, maintaining current tax assessment limits without altering broader tax policy.

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.
This Senate Resolution (R 1245) requires the state to create and approve an itemized list of organizations receiving funds for community safety and restorative justice programs in the 2025-2026 fiscal year. It directly affects local government agencies, community-based nonprofits, and service providers (like victim support groups, legal aid organizations, and violence prevention programs) by mandating that all allocated funds - totaling over $1 million - must be distributed according to a Senate-approved plan. Key provisions include requiring Senate leadership and the budget director to approve the grant list or allocation method before funds are spent, and allowing limited fund transfers between state agencies like victim services or domestic violence prevention offices. The resolution specifies exact amounts for 28 grantees, including $200,000 to Empire Justice Center and $100,000 to Women's Initiative for Self-Empowerment Inc., for programs addressing issues like domestic violence, gun violence prevention, and alternatives to incarceration.
This bill establishes a mandatory process for allocating $2.4 million in state funds for community public health programs during the 2025-2026 fiscal year. It requires the state to create an approved plan listing every recipient organization and exact funding amount (e.g., $60,000 to Northwell Health, $50,000 to Caribbean Women's Health Association) before disbursement. The plan must be approved by the Senate President, Budget Director, and passed by a Senate roll call vote. This replaces previous funding methods by mandating transparency and legislative oversight for all grantees, including cancer centers, LGBTQ+ health providers, senior services, and community health organizations.
Senate Resolution 1236 amends a funding plan to add new recipients and adjust allocations for educational and arts grants. It directly affects school districts, public libraries, colleges, and nonprofit organizations by adding specific grantees like the Center for Educational Innovation ($80,000) and Fencing in the Park ($50,000) to the approved list. Key provisions require all funds to be allocated only after a senate-approved plan (listing grantees or allocation method) is included in a resolution passed by a majority vote. The resolution also allows reassigning funds between agencies like SUNY or the New York State Council on the Arts with senate and budget director approval. This updates the 2024-25 funding schedule without creating new policy.
This Senate Resolution (R 1250) establishes specific grant allocations for the 2025-26 state fiscal year, directly affecting community organizations providing services in elder guardianship, transgender/non-binary wellness, LGBT health, school health centers, sickle cell care, and veterans' mental health. It requires the Senate to approve a plan listing grantees and funding amounts (e.g., $640,000 to Project Guardianship Inc., $75,000 to University of Rochester's Gender Wellness Program) before funds can be expended. The resolution mandates that all allocations follow a Senate-approved process requiring majority vote on a roll call. It does not create new policy but formalizes existing funding disbursement for designated programs.
Senate Resolution 1239 specifies which community mental health organizations will receive state funds for the 2024-25 fiscal year. It lists 20 specific nonprofits and local agencies, including NAMI chapters, Project Renewal, and the Lesbian & Gay Community Services Center, with exact grant amounts ranging from $10,000 to $75,000 for services like crisis intervention, behavioral care, and outpatient support. This procedural resolution amends prior funding plans to mandate an itemized list of grantees with allocated amounts, requiring Senate approval before funds are distributed.
Senate Resolution 1244 establishes the allocation plan for state funds supporting community adult and youth mental health programs during the 2025-2026 fiscal year. The plan must be approved by the temporary president of the Senate and the budget director, then passed by a majority vote in the Senate, and must either list specific grantees with their funding amounts or detail the allocation method. It directs funds to local agencies and non-profits providing services like crisis intervention, behavioral care, and outpatient support, including specific allocations such as $150,000 to JCCA EDENWALD INC and $50,000 to Aisling Irish Community Center. The resolution also allows suballocations to state offices, such as $95,000 to the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence of Westchester.
