What This Bill Would Do
New York creates a seven-member task force to evaluate and redesign the funding formula, with a report due to state leaders within one year and the provisions expiring on December 31, 2026.
Local governments across New York rely on state funding allocations that could be structurally altered by the recommendations of this task force, while municipalities currently receiving no AIM funding are explicitly barred from future allocations.
