My comments:

There is very little to update at this time.

Remember that the NYS Legislature (both the Assembly and the Senate) is in recess until January 2025 unless called back into session by the Governor due to an emergency. As this is an election year for all Assembly and Senate positions in NYS, any bill that has not passed both houses is dead and must begin the process again in January 2025. Only those bills that passed both houses can be sent to the Governor’s desk for her signature or veto. Those bills are reviewed in the June and July reports.

On a Federal level, remember that Congress takes its annual hiatus during August. Since returning to session after Labor Day, their big issue is to fund the Government.

So, little to see here.

Stay safe,

Carl
