Legislative Bill Tracking

State Issues

The Senate and Assembly each released their respective One House budget bills this week and passed their proposals. Joint committee meetings were also held to facilitate budget negotiations between the Senate and Assembly. 

Federal Issues

The House Financial Services Committee held a hearing on the future of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Committee Chair Maxine Waters said her priorities would be addressing premium affordability for low-income homeowners and the need for improved mapping and floodplain management. The Committee also considered a proposal by U.S. Rep. Nydia Velazquez (D-Brooklyn) that would ensure greater accountability and oversight in the fair and efficient processing of claims.
