NYSSBA’s Governmental Relations Team has completed our detailed analysis of this year’s Executive Budget. 

Earlier today, Governor Kathy Hochul delivered a presentation in support of her 2026-27 executive budget proposal.

Governor Hochul gave the annual State of the State address this afternoon from the Egg in Albany. The Governor outlined her priorities for the new legislative session, which began on January 7th. 

The 2026 state legislation kicked-off yesterday, as both the Senate and Assembly gaveled into session for what was, and traditionally is, a mostly ceremonial day.
