STATE BUDGET

The state has an annual budget, beginning in April.  Agencies submit budget requests in October and November, with the Governor submitting a budget in mid-January.  The Legislature adopts a budget in April.  The Legislature is required by statute to pass a balanced budget.

STATE LEGISLATURE

New York State Assembly has 150 members serving two-year terms, and the New York State Senate currently has 63 members also serving two-year terms, but the New York Constitution allows the number of Senate seats to vary.  Bills carry over from odd to even numbered years.
