The deadline to pass the New York State Budget is fast approaching.

Each year, the New York State Legislature has until the end of March 31 to pass a budget, or pass an extension to keep the government running until one is passed. The deadline was not expected to be met.

Debate around Gov. Kathy Hochul’s proposed changes to pre-trial discovery rules are holding things up.
Gov. Hochul has proposed a $252 billion spending plan – up from last year’s $237 billion plan.
