Support for Two Pro-Democracy Bills, Opposition to Anti-Transparency Bill

As part of our advocacy for open, accountable NY government, Reinvent Albany reissued memos of support for the following bills:

• S2459 (Comrie) / A8569 (Braunstein) – Repeals 2019 changes to Public Authorities Control Board. This bill was introduced in the Assembly by AM Braunstein.
• A2653 (Shrestha) / S7858 (Salazar) – Ends automatic approval of some gubernatorial appointees. This bill was reintroduced in the Senate by Senator Salazar, and is on the Senate floor calendar.

We urge the Legislature to pass these bills, and the Governor to sign them.

We also reissued a memo of opposition to the following bill:

• S2047-A (Webb) / A617-A (Shimsky) – Amends definition of “reportable business relationship.” This bill was introduced in the Assembly by AM Shimsky.

We urge the Legislature to reject this bill, and the Governor to veto it if passed.
