Establishes a temporary moratorium on unfunded mandates and creates regional mandate relief councils.

New York A07798 establishes a temporary moratorium on unfunded mandates from the legislature and creates regional mandate relief councils. The bill defines an unfunded mandate as a state law that imposes a new program, project, or activity on local governments, or requires higher service or funding levels for existing programs, resulting in significant net additional costs. The moratorium lasts three years and applies to laws enacted after the bill's effective date. Each regional council, appointed by various state officials, identifies and reviews mandates to be eliminated or reformed.
