As New York begins its state fiscal year 2024 budget cycle with the recent release of Governor Kathy Hochul's Executive Budget Proposal, the houses of the legislature have released their calendar for Joint Legislative Budget Hearings. These proceedings begin with a hearing on Transportation on Monday, February 6, and continue through a final set of hearings on Housing and Workforce Development and Labor on Wednesday, March 1st, with 13 hearings scheduled to be convened over the course of the efforts.
