New York A02350 amends state finance law to allocate enhanced aid and incentives for municipalities based on population per capita.

New York A02350 amends the state finance law to change how enhanced aid and incentives for municipalities are distributed. Starting from April 1, 2026, these funds will be apportioned by the director of the budget on a per-capita basis, meaning the amount each municipality receives is based on its population. Municipalities in Tier 1, which includes towns with 15,000 or fewer residents, villages with 10,000 or fewer residents, and cities with 20,000 or fewer residents, will receive 80% of the annual appropriation.
