New York’s 2025 legislative session concluded just after 12:00 a.m. on Wednesday, June 18th. The Senate wrapped up its work on June 13, around the time that the session was originally scheduled to conclude for both houses.
As you are aware, this year’s legislative session has been quite the ride! As you may recall, the budget which was due on April 1, was not approved until early May. At the same time, your NYSCA officers and legislative committee attended a leadership lobby day where we met with Assembly and Senate sponsors of our priority bills, as well as chair of the Assembly and Senate Higher Education Committees. Overall, this was a very positive and productive day, with much support noted for the various bills, including and especially our scope of practice bill.
