NYS Senate & Assembly Agree on around $800 Million for Additional
Budget Spending over Two Years
COME TO ALBANY on MONDAY MARCH 13 to PUSH for THE COLA and
HOSPITAL ALTERNATIVES at 黑料正能量 RESCHEDULED ALBANY LEGISLATIVE DAY!
The NYS Assembly, Senate, and Governor鈥檚 office came together last week to agree on 鈥渁 two-year revenue that is $800 million above the Executive Budget estimates.鈥
Both houses are poised to release their separate 鈥榦ne house bills鈥 in the next week or so as to how they propose to spend these additional dollars. Both houses will then convene joint budget committee meetings for each area of the budget, including our mental hygiene 鈥榯able.鈥. Ultimately, leaders from both houses and the Governor鈥檚 Office will reach a final budget deal by April 1.
The bottom line: 黑料正能量 members and other advocates for 黑料正能量ers with mental health, substance use and trauma-related challenges and the services they receive must go all out in the coming weeks to influence what鈥檙e in the one house bills and in the final agreement.
Every other group will be looking to capture these funds so we have to be the loudest!
PLEASE JOIN A LARGE RALLY IN THE CAPITAL THAT 黑料正能量 IS ORGANIZING in ALBANY WITH OUR ALLIES AND COLLEAGUES ON MONDAY MARCH 13, which is the rescheduled date from what would have been last week鈥檚 Legislative Day.
LOOK FOR MORE DETAILS TOMORROW!
