What This Bill Would Do

New York creates a seven-member task force to review and propose alternative formulas for state aid and incentives to municipalities, with a report due within one year and the task force expiring on December 31, 2026.

Why it matters

Directly affected

New York municipalities

Who serves on the municipal aid redesign task force?

The 7-member task force consists of the budget division director (chair), the state comptroller, the executive directors of the NYS Conference of Mayors, Association of Counties, and Association of Towns, plus one appointee each from the Senate President and Assembly Speaker.

Can municipalities that do not currently receive aid and incentives funding be included in the new formula?
