How NY's budget changes car insurance, pension system and climate law

It was a big day for the state Legislature in Albany on Tuesday, May 26, as the fourth budget bill revealed what auto insurance, Tier 6 pension and climate law changes would be coming for New Yorkers.

Lawmakers debated the Transportation, Economic Development and Environmental Conservation, or TED, bill for hours, but ultimately passed it in the Assembly and Senate. A 15th budget extender bringing the total spent on keeping state government open to $36.2 billion since April 1 was also passed on Tuesday and will last through Thursday, May 28.

"I'm hoping to complete the process of passing the budget by Thursday," Assemblymember J. Gary Pretlow, a Westchester County Democrat, said on the Assembly floor on Tuesday.
