Final Agreement on Major Priorities for End of 2015-16 Legislative Session

 New York Governor Andrew Cuomo

Governor Andrew Cuomo today announced details of a final agreement on a number of major priorities for the end of the 2015-16 legislative session.

Governor Cuomo said: “Today, we have reached an agreement on robust, comprehensive reforms that put the people of New York first. We are strengthening rent laws and extending them for four years in the New York City area to protect more than two million tenants. We are also extending the property tax cap and creating a $1.3 billion property tax rebate program to provide significant relief to homeowners across the state. And we are providing $250 million to support the education of roughly 400,000 students in the state’s non-public schools. These are the kinds of reforms that keep New York moving forward, creating a better life and livelihood for people in virtually every corner of the state, and I am proud to have fought to make them a reality.”
